A strike at King Soopers grocery stores in Colorado will impact not only employees and shoppers but also local Girl Scout cookie sales. The labor dispute, set to begin on Thursday, will close Girl Scouts’ cookie booths at affected locations from February 6 to 20.
The strike affects over 2,500 Girl Scouts who rely heavily on Super Bowl weekend sales to earn revenue. To mitigate the impact, Girl Scouts of Colorado is seeking alternative locations for their cookie booths, including Safeway and other stores with high foot traffic.
Customers can still buy cookies online or contact GSCO customer care at 877-404-5708 for more information about available hosting options. King Soopers has exempted some cities from the strike’s impact, but the affected areas will likely experience disruptions in cookie sales.
