Girl Scout Cookies are now being sold at 56 QFC stores across the state, according to a joint press release from the grocery chain Kroger, QFC’s parent company, and the Girl Scouts of Western Washington.

Door-to-door sales and sales outside supermarkets are yet another seasonal traditional the coronavirus pandemic has upended. The Girl Scouts were selling their cookies online earlier this year, the release notes, but that sale has ended.

The cookies will be sold at QFC through May 30 and all of the proceeds will go to local Girl Scout troops. Flavors being sold include thin mints, samoas, tagalongs, lemon-ups, trefoils, s’mores, do-si-dos, and gluten-free toffee-tastics.

Shoppers can find the cookies in displays near the store registers.
