Why almost $3 million of Girl Scout cookies are sitting unsold in Atlanta warehouse
Fox News
There are nearly $3 million worth of Girl Scout cookies sitting in an Atlanta-area warehouse because the pandemic has crushed local troops’ traditional sales opportunities, a scouting official said.
Though the bounty of Thin Mints and Samoas might sound like a cookie monster’s dream, it’s created a headache for the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, who rely on the revenue to fund programming for their young members, WSB-TV reports. To date, there are over 720,000 boxes of the coveted cookies sitting unsold in an Alpharetta warehouse, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta CEO Amy Dosik told the outlet. "If you stacked up all those boxes of cookies, there are actually enough boxes of cookies here in Atlanta to go all the way around I-285," Dosik told CBS 46. "All the proceeds stay local and so when we have fewer boxes of cookies sold, it means fewer scholarships for families in need and fewer resources to support girl scouting for all girls in our community."More Related News
