That’s how thin mint crumbles.
Girl Scout cookie lovers may have to wait to place their orders due to manufacturing issues at their Kentucky manufacturing facility, the organization announced Thursday.
Iconic cookie producers Little Brownie Bakers said: said in a Facebook post.
“Global supply chain issues, local labor shortages and even unforeseen adverse weather conditions all impacted the sales season.”
LBB said its bakers are working “overtime” to fill the backlog of orders.
But customers can’t get the company out of trouble that easily.
“This will only hurt the girls. The girls are disappointed. We can’t even get the product to our customers, so why should we try,” one unit leader said on Facebook. “So LBB won’t change the reward deadline, so why should we try?!?”
“Weirdly, you didn’t really accept any responsibility. You pushed it to other groups,” one Facebook user wrote. ‘s apology does not put the money into the military accounts that need this money to function.”
Production delays have been a problem for the company since the cookie sales season began in January. A source told CNBC.
In an email obtained by the outlet, Girl Scouts executives confirmed to local troop leaders that they expect LBB to be “outperforming demand” than previously proven.
Last weekend, a severe weather-related power outage at LBB’s Louisville plant forced the company to suspend production for the entire weekend, exacerbating the production slowdown.
In particular, Girl Scouts’ newest cookie, the Raspberry Rally, is being auctioned online for over $100.
