Birch Run Outlets   
 
 
The Prime Outlets of Birch Run is the largest outlet center in the Midwest. Ask any metro-Detroiter and they'll confess to their need for the occasional Birch Run fix to find great prices on just about anything from apparel to housewares to fine jewelry. Over 150 factory direct stores are located here, including Coach, Pottery Barn, and J. Crew  outlets. Add to this a number of visitor services such as complimentary wheelchairs and strollers, free trolley service, and onsite restaurants / dining establishments, and you are in for a convenient and bargain-filled shopping experience with family and friends.   
 
 Frankenmuth
 
 
Then try a taste of Bavaria just a stones throw from I-75 in the beautiful city of Frankenmuth. The area was settled back in 1845 by conservative Lutheran immigrants from the Bavarian province of Franconia as a mission post for the spread of Christianity to the Chippewa tribe. Over three million people annually visit this quaint village to enjoy authentic Franconian-style street signs and architecture and dozens of Bavarian-themed shops and restaurants such as Zehnders, the Bavarian Inn, and Bronner's Christmas Wonderland (self-proclaimed to be the "World's Largest Christmas Store"!)
