Girl Scout cookies have been a staple of American food consumption since 1917. But they havent sold well in recent years. As Fortune reported, sales declined in 2015 the first year that the cookies could be bought online. That year, the Girl Scouts organization sold 194 million boxes (good for $776 million), which is about 1 million fewer boxes than in 2014 and a 1 percent overall decline, Fortune reported.
But the 2015 numbers provided a hint of sweetness the organization expected to see a 6 percent drop from 2014, according to Fortune.
The Girl Scouts organization said it hopes that its digital initiative, along with new products, could help drive sales moving forward.
It used to be that girls would bring a suitcase of Girl Scout cookies when they went to visit grandma, Anna Maria Chavez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, told Fortune. The number one reason people dont buy Girl Scout cookies is because they cant find a Girl Scout. This solves this.
