Cherry Republic

🌟 Impact Spotlight 🌟 At Cherry Republic, we’re passionate about protecting what we love, and that’s why we’re proud to support the incredible work of the Inland Seas Education Association (ISEA).  ISEA inspires a lifetime of Great Lakes curiosity, stewardship, and passion by getting people of all ages out on the water for unforgettable hands-on learning experiences. Their belief is simple but powerful: “We only protect what we love, we only love what we understand, and we only understand what we are taught.” Through community partnerships and generous donations, ISEA is able to bring more students and communities aboard their schoolships - not just in Leelanau County and Traverse City, but throughout the Great Lakes region. From Suttons Bay to Duluth, Chicago to Cleveland, ISEA’s ripple effect is far-reaching, and their mission is helping to foster a deep, lasting connection to these precious waters. 🌊 Learn more about their amazing work: schoolship.org

Cherry Republic Summer Kickoff Training 🍒 Yesterday we launched the season with Ambassador Training at the Glen Arbor Township Hall, with support from the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center! We kicked things off with “Taste the Cherries,” diving into the brand’s history, core values, and signature products (with plenty of sampling, of course). After lunch from L’Chayim, we explored the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), got an intro to Trailhead Leadership, and wrapped up with a Kolbe workshop focused on team dynamics. Feeling energized for a summer full of growth, connection, and cherries! 🤗

Cherry Republic is proud to be a sponsor at the MCEEA Conference this week! 🍒 Erynn is here this week connecting with career educators, employers, and professionals who are passionate about building strong career pathways here in Michigan.

Yesterday, our Summer 2025 Interns had the chance to visit our Traverse City store.🍒 They enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour, met the team that brings the Cherry Republic experience to life, and wrapped up the morning with breakfast and some classic cherry pie. We’ve loved having this group with us and can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer brings. Their energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm are already making a sweet impact!😊 #CherryRepublic #InternshipExperience #Summer2025 #PureMichigan #NorthernMichigan
