Order Girl Scout cookies from Monday on GrubHub

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, Girl Scouts hope to bring you a smile and a tasty treat with their annual cookie season.

But like so many companies, the Girl Scouts are adapting their business model to meet the needs of people in the community during the pandemic.

They have come up with several ways to safely distribute cookies with limited to no contact.

One way is to go to GrubHub.

From Monday you can order Thin Mints, Samoas, Tag-A-Longs and more via the food delivery app.

“Girls will have the back end of this e-business, this e-commerce business, and they will track their sales locally. They’ll prepare the sale and fulfill the orders, and then GrubHub will jump in and pick it up and deliver it to your door, ”said Mary Anne Jacobs, CEO of Gateway Council.

This year, you’ll also find drive-thru cookie booths, virtual cookie booths, and of course booths outside your local store with new safety protocols.

Another non-contact option is door hangers that are left on your front door with a QR code.

“You can actually scan the code, go to our website, choose your zip code, choose your favorite junk and have that junk deliver the cookies to you or send them,” Jacobs said.

Girl Scouts of Gateway Council Press Release:

“New this season, Girl Scouts from Gateway Council is participating in a national partnership with ordering and delivery platform Grubhub, giving girls an additional way to enable contactless cookie orders. All over the county, cookie fans can order Girl Scout Cookies for pick-up or delivery Grubhub.com or the Grubhub app. Local Girl Scouts have hands-on experience managing ecommerce and will track and fulfill orders, manage inventory and more, all using Grubhub’s back-end technology. This method will be available in many areas of North Florida from February 1 to March 7. As always, the proceeds benefit the junk and the city, while providing another innovative way to run the cookie program virtually securely. GSUSA is grateful to Grubhub for forgoing all costs to the organization to make this new delivery option feasible for sale without reducing troop and municipal revenues. “
