Zehnder's Mother of the Year Contest

Zehnder's opened its doors for business on Mother's Day, 1928, when Zehnder's chefs served up a total of 312 chicken dinners. Since then, hundreds of thousands of guests have participated in the Mother's Day tradition at Zehnder's and Zehnder's has come to know Mother's Day as one of the busiest days of the year.

Again this year Zehnder's of Frankenmuth C.E.O., Albert Zehnder, expects to serve over 4,000 family-style meals to mothers and their families. In celebration of Mother's Day Zehnder's will sponsor its 17th annual Mother of the Year Contest.
