Girl Scout cookie sales reportedly down
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting Girl Scout cookie sales this season, dropping sales about 40% compared to this time last year in Georgia, news outlet WTGS reported.
Sue Else, the CEO of the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, said COVID-19 is limiting the organization’s in-person booth locations, WTGS reported.
To adapt, the Girl Scouts have started drive-through cookie booths and are partnering with Grubhub to deliver cookies, according to the news outlet.
“All of us use Grubhub frequently here when we order our lunch. Now you can order your lunch or dinner and you can add Girl Scout cookies to your order,” Else told WTGS.
Cookie season ends March 14.
