GSCCC
Retail Shops Move to Online-Only
Beginning December 23, 2016
GSCCC
Online Fall Catalog
After a multi-year review of the dollars and cents it takes GSCCC to
operate our brick-and-mortar retail shops, the conclusion is that it makes
much more sense to
move all shopping online, effectively allowing the council to use resources
wisely and discontinue the annual losses for that operation.
Since 2012, our customers are showing a
significant increase in online shopping due to 24/7 access, mobile device
usage and direct-delivery convenience among other benefits.
Moving to an all online shopping experience for Girl Scout
basics and merchandise falls right in line with Digital Cookie, the council's
new mobile-friendly website, and the new online Volunteer Toolkit coming in
January - making it easier for you to volunteer your time and serve girls.
