Charitable Giving
Our mission statement — Life, Liberty, Beaches & Pie — is packed full of meaning, but perhaps the most meaningful value we strive to live out is that of Pie, which represents generosity and is at the heart of all we do at Cherry Republic.
This spirit of giving has motivated us, in collaboration with our dedicated customers, to bestow grants amounting to remarkable $3 million over the course of the last three decades. These funds have been allocated to promote clean energy initiatives, conserve precious farmland, enhance outdoor recreational spaces, and foster the sustainability of our communities.

Cherry Republic Retail Locations
Who would have thought in 1989 when Bob was selling t-shirts out of the back of his car that over 30 years later Cherry Republic would be the leading cherry retailer in Michigan? Today we have six beautiful stores sprinkled throughout the state, and each location has its own personality. We invite you to visit them all!
