It's a delicious day for cherry lovers in Ann Arbor.

Cherry Republic, a Michigan-based retail chain, officially opened its first Ann Arbor store this morning.

The company, which sells cherry-themed items of all sorts, renovated the space formerly occupied by Occasionally Gift Shop, which closed in February.

Here are a few images from the store's first day at its new location on northeast corner of Main and Liberty streets in downtown Ann Arbor.
