Thin Mint Blizzard Promotion Underway

This summer, Dairy Queen^® is giving new meaning to the term “going green.” From July 7 -13, participating Dairy Queen and locations will salute the 3.6 million Girl Scouts in the U.S. for their community service and display of leadership during Girl Scout Appreciation Week, which is being hosted by Dairy Queen locations nationwide.  There are six Dairy Queen locations within GSWRC's jurisdiction who plan to offer the product.  In addition, the Dairy Queen in Newton, located near Camp Hoover plans to participate in the promotion. Below is a list of locations. 

City	Address
Plainfield	1367 South Ave., Plainfield, NJ
Clark	182 Westfield Ave., Clark, NJ
Cranford	337 North Avenue East, Cranford, NJ
Union	2625 Morris Avenue, Union, NJ
Linden	446 North Wood Avenue, Linden, NJ
Rahway	735 East Hazelwood Ave., Rahway, NJ

During the week, local Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to develop their business and leadership skills at Dairy Queen locations by taking behind-the-scenes tours, receiving tips from Dairy Queen professionals on how to run a successful business, and learning about the product development process, including how to make a Blizzard. 

Thin Mints are the best-selling Girl Scout cookie ever, while the Blizzard is Dairy Queen’s signature treat product with nearly 4 billion sold since 1985. This is the first time Girl Scouts of the USA and Dairy Queen have come together to create a one-of-a-kind Blizzard flavor. The Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookie Blizzard is made with Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie pieces, creamy DQ soft serve and a Crème de Menthe topping.
