By Al Zehnder, CEO of Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth
I sit on our local DDA Board that oversees among other things, the planting of thousands of flats of flowers all along Main Street. A tremendous task that really makes the main thoroughfare of our community pop. The goal is to be done by the Fourth of July. They’re almost there.
All of our businesses complement that effort with plantings in front of and around their respective properties. The result is a beautiful Frankenmuth.
Each year, our team from The Fortress plants over 400 flats of flowers, hundreds of individual plants, herbs and hanging baskets at each of our properties. Everything from geraniums to alyssum. The centerpiece of our plantings is our topiary chicken ruling the roost right along Main Street in front of our flagship restaurant, Zehnder’s!
As you visit our beautiful community, stroll up and down our front porch and up and down Main Street, you may see one or more of our crew and the City’s crew tending to their hard work. If you have a question, please ask, they’re as proud of their work as we are.
Our entire team and our entire community stands ready to extend an enthusiastic welcome to Frankenmuth this summer. We’re blooming!
Hospitably Yours,
Al Zehnder, CEO
