We’re Ready!

May 31, 2023

By Al Zehnder, CEO of Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth

I came into work this morning walking up the front porch of our flagship restaurant. Our grounds crew, from The Fortress, had just finished planting hundreds of flats of flowers. Literally thousands of flowers that generally follow a red, white and blue color palate. Everything from geraniums to alyssum. Each planting bed is a beautiful mix of annuals and perennials. The centerpiece of our garden is our topiary chicken. Begun in a greenhouse in early April, it is stuffed with nearly 6,000 red and white begonias. As I entered the restaurant, I thought to myself; we’re ready!

If you find yourself in our beautiful city, take the time to stroll up our front porch. You may see one or more of our crew tending to their handiwork. If you have a question, please ask. They’re as proud of their work as I am.

Our entire team is ready to extend an enthusiastic welcome to Frankenmuth and the Zehnder family of properties this summer. We’re ready!

Hospitably Yours!

Al Zehnder, CEO
