National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend
Did someone say Girl Scout Cookies?!
Yes! We did. Here at The Yard we have been having so much fun creating fun monthly specialties with Girl Scout Cookies. We kicked off this 3 month long official collaboration with the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama at the beginning of January.
As February begins to wrap up, we look back at our fun specialties that we created with the Girl Scout Cookies and look forward to March!
Available only in January
Available only in February
Available only in March
We were having such a blast with this collaboration that we invited one of the troops to come take a peek at our flagship store in Gulf Shores, AL.
Although it was a fun experience for the girls to eat ice cream and hear about our collaboration, they also received some handy dandy marketing information from our Co-Owner and Co-Founder, Chelsea Green.
Chelsea answered many questions and helped the troop come up with ideas on how to sell Girl Scout cookies - even with the obstacles of COVID. She explained online marketing and how to spread the word. Chelsea gave insight on the creativity of marketing and how to adapt to obstacles.
Furthermore, our Chief Of Operations, Ali Green, talked to the girls and displayed how to build a milkshake. She touched on her duties as a COO and how she also is able to overcome obstacles with creativity.
To continue helping the Girl Scout Troops, we celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend and ask you to purchase from a local troop near you!
Here is the >> link <<< for finding booths, and at the bottom of the page, you'll see the Grubhub links for each area.
