The details
Biography
Wallace John "Wally" Bronner (March 9, 1927 – April 1, 2008) was the American founder of Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. Bronner was born to Ella (Hubinger) and Herman Bronner on March 9, 1927 in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Bronner founded the store in 1943 while working as a sign painter (though Bronner considers the start of his business career to be 1945). Bronner ran the day by day activities until he passed it down to his son, Wayne Bronner. Bronner was still on serving as board chairman up until his death.
Bronner died of esophageal cancer on April 1, 2008, shortly after his 81st birthday. Bronner was survived by his wife and four children.
