EV Charging in Frankenmuth & Birch Run

Michigan’s Little Bavaria draws millions of visitors a year to a town of five thousand: chicken dinners at Zehnder’s and the Bavarian Inn, Bronner’s — the world’s largest Christmas store — and the Birch Run outlets five minutes down I-75.

It is a textbook destination-charging stop: visits run three hours to a full weekend, everything is walkable from a parked car, and it sits right on the I-75 corridor north — top up here and the drive to the Straits gets comfortable.

When to go: Unusually for Michigan, the peak runs through the holidays — Bronner’s and the Christkindlmarkt keep November and December as busy as July.

Why people come here

  • Bronner’s — the world’s largest Christmas store, drawing over two million visitors a year to its half-mile of lights
  • Founded 1845 by Franconian settlers; the name literally means “courage of the Franconians”
  • Zehnder’s and the Bavarian Inn — two of America’s highest-volume restaurants, famous for chicken dinners
  • Birch Run’s outlet mall sits five minutes down I-75
