Girl Scouts Set Up Their Stall Outside A Weed Dispensary In Chicago, Sell Several Hundred Boxes

Even though it may still be considered quite a controversial topic, more and more states are legalizing weed, whether it's medical or recreational. The funny thing is, weed dispensaries are far from the only thing profiting out of this. Apparently, many Girl Scouts saw it as a perfect opportunity to sell even more cookies. After seeing this, some people even started joking that you can now get your weed and satisfy your cookie cravings all in one place now. A simple yet genius marketing plan, isn't it?

The local Girl Scout troop in Andersonville, Illinois reached out to Dispensary33 to set up their cookie stand outside the dispensary on Sunday morning. After getting the thumbs up, the girls laid out their cookies, delighting both customers and employees of the weed shop.

Melissa Soukup, a leader of an Andersonville-area Brownie Girl Scout troop got the idea to set up a cookie stand outside the dispensary from a police officer who visited her troop’s cookie booth last year at a Pet Supplies Plus. He mentioned in passing that they would be crushing it if they'd set up their booth outside to-be-legalized dispensaries.

She said she was reminded of this when looking for new places in the area that weren't taken. “We try to meet goals so the girls can win prizes. We’re always looking for opportunities, places that have walking traffic". Naturally, the idea to set up their stall in front of a dispensary was brilliant as people couldn't miss the chance to get both their weed and their munchies at the same time.
