It’s the time of year where Girl Scout cookie booths start popping up in front of local establishments.
Instead of following the traditional route of staking out a grocery store or mall, one troop in Chicago set up shop outside a marijuana dispensary. The clientele proved to be the perfect customers for Girl Scout cookies, as the girls, ages 6 and 7, sold about 230 boxes in a day, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Dispensary 33 serves more than 500 people a day, general manager Paul Lee told the news outlet. Many of the customers bring cash and are looking for snacks to accompany their purchase, he said.
“As a former Girl Scout, I admire the hustle,” Dispensary 33′s marketing manger Abigail Watkins told Block Club Chicago.
This troop isn’t the first group of Girl Scouts to sell cookies outside a marijuana dispensary. Colorado recently lifted a ban on selling outside marijuana dispensaries, according to the Tribune. Meanwhile, Girl Scouts in California were using that strategyin 2018.
Marijuana became legal in Illinois in 2020.
