With a few of these scattered across the country, it's fair to assume there must be a market for Cherry Pie and its range of alternative clothing and jewellery. Equally fair to assume, as I visit this shop sporting a grey, moto-less jumper and jeans that do not reveal half my boxer shorts, that I am not part of it.
In saying that, compared to most other alternative clothing outlets I've encountered during my Yelping days, this appears to be fairly timid fare, concentrating more on the emo side of things as opposed to, well, leather catsuits, crotchless pants and the like. It's a friendly enough little shop and prices seem reasonable, with a bargain box holding a range of t-shirts lying in one corner. All black, of course.
Again, to my untrained eye I would suggest the stock tends to gear more towards the emo kids who figure they might not be emo kids in a few years, as opposed to those who are in it for life.
