From now until March 9, Girl Scout cookies are being sold across Memphis. For six bucks a box, you can get one of nine different options, although Thin Mints and Samoas are the most popular.
Last year, Memphis-area Girl Scouts sold 634,771 boxes of cookies. Typically, about two-thirds of those are sold at tables set up around Memphis, usually outside grocery stores and the like.
The rest are delivered in a variety of ways. With a driving assist from mom and dad, some hand deliver orders to family and friends. Some pile boxes of Tagalongs and Do-si-dos in wagons and walk neighborhoods, selling to whoever might be home. Others don their uniforms and invade their parents’ workplaces with boxes and boxes of cookies.
“It is a big undertaking. Because it’s been going on for so long, it’s down to a true shipping science. We work with our transportation and the troops to schedule particular days they’re going to get their cookies and deliver them to their customers,” said Jenny Jones, a spokesperson for Girl Scouts Heart of the South. “It’s truly a team and systemwide effort to get all the cookies to all the customers.”
