ORLANDO, Fla. — The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted so many aspects of our lives, even Girl Scout Cookies.
Everyone has a favorite Girl Scout cookie. But this year, not everyone ended up getting a box.
Despite extending the deadline to purchase Girl Scout Cookies and pivoting to more online purchase options, the challenges brought on by the pandemic have left nearly $100,000 worth of cookies in a local warehouse.
