Articles labeled: girl scout cookies record

Our Thin Mints habit probably put her over the top. And apparently she’s a fan as well:

And now, with 17,323 boxes sold under her name, [15-year-old Dearborn girl Jennifer Sharpe] is believed to have sold more cookies in a single season than anyone in the U.S. ever has, according to Girl Scout officials who’ve planned a ceremony in her honor today.

Jennifer, a fan of the Thin Mints, used a retail-inspired strategy. She set up shop in a church parking lot from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, she sold cookies outside an auto parts store from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“When I was young, I knocked on doors,” said Jennifer, in her 10th year of Scouting. “Now that I’m older, I get too many rejections face to face. People don’t want to buy from a 15-year-old.”
