Shop local and knock out your holiday gift list on Friday, Dec. 1, during three late-night shopping events in downtown Tree Town.

Name a product, and somehow cherries have found their way into them when visiting the Cherry Republic, a group of stores in Michigan.

From cookies and clothing to cool stickers and records, Ann Arbor’s many small businesses offer a plethora of choices for even the pickiest of giftees.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Cherry fans rejoice! Cherry Republic in downtown Ann Arbor will have its grand reopening this Saturday. Our Ann Arbor store is one of our busiest locations, and we cant wait to show our customers what weve been up to the past several months, said Cherry Republic President Bob Sutherland.
