Girl Scout Cookies - Saturday, Feb 21 at Stop & Shop

We’ll be at Stop & Shop tomorrow Saturday, February 21st from 10:00 – 1:30 ready to help you make very responsible decisions… like buying “just one more box.” 

Cookie season is wrapping up in the next few weeks, which means this is your sign to:
