Michiganders sure do love delicious cherries. As one of our state’s most popular exports, Michigan cherries are famous throughout the region — and with good reason. But what if we told you there was a shop right here in Michigan that served up seemingly endless cherry-based products in the tastiest ways imaginable? Well, you’re in luck, and your taste buds are in for a treat.
Cherry Republic has six fantastic locations in cities throughout the Great Lakes State: Glen Arbor, Ann Arbor, Holland, Frankenmuth, Charlevoix (this store is temporarily closed for construction), and Traverse City.
This one-of-a-kind state chain is nothing short of incredible, and you could spend all day simply perusing its aisles and indulging in a few free samples.
The history of this unique company starts all the way back in 1989, when founder Bob Sutherland began selling cherry-themed shirts and ultimately created the now-beloved Cherry Boomchunka cookie.
Today, Cherry Republic makes over 200 fabulous products and draws in visitors from across the world to appreciate the delight of northern Michigan cherries.
As soon as you step into one of the store’s locations, you’ll be overcome with the sweet scent of Michigan’s most famous fruity export. What’s not to love?
Of course, each Cherry Republic location is overflowing with free samples. Try a few chocolate-covered cherries, dip into some cherry almond butter, or take a quick sip of cherry root beer. Can you imagine anything more delicious?
Cherry Republic even promotes four core values that are easy to get on board with: Life, Liberty, Beaches, and Pie. We truly can’t find anything not to love!
