Cherry Republic continues to plot expansion while holding firm at its nine locations across Michigan.

“Our current focus is on expanding our retail presence thoughtfully and sustainably,” Cherry Republic vice president of marketing and impact Sara Harding said. “We’re continuing to explore opportunities both within Michigan and beyond, but near-term our growth efforts are focused domestically. We’re always curious and learning, but we are taking a very intentional approach to new markets.”

Cherry Republic’s newest openings included a pop-up location at the Eastwood Centre in Lansing in October, as well as a store opening in Mackinaw City early last year, which has remained open all year.
