The Baton Rouge Yard Milkshake Bar franchise owners' gesture serves as a shining example of the power of local businesses to uplift and support their communities. Beyond serving delicious desserts, they've shown their dedication to celebrating the spirit of LSU football and the city of Baton Rouge itself.

In the end, it's not just about the milkshakes at the Yard Milkshake Bar—it's about the sweet sense of community and the passion for supporting local heroes that make this place truly special. The franchise owners have proven that a small act of kindness can go a long way in creating a stronger, more connected Baton Rouge.

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.
