Stacy's introduces limited-edition flavor and
pledges a donation of $50,000 to the
Girl Scouts
PLANO,
Texas, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As a
female-founded brand that grew from a sandwich cart to distribution
throughout the U.S. and Canada,
Stacy's® Pita Chips is continuing its ongoing
commitment to help women rise. This year, as part of a licensing
relationship with Girl Scouts® of the USA (GSUSA), Stacy's is releasing a new
limited-edition Girl Scout Cookie inspired flavor,
Stacy's® Girl Scout Thin Mints™ Flavored Pita Thins, and
pledging a donation of $50,000 to
Girl Scouts to support the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
Aligned with Stacy's mission, GSUSA has a long legacy of helping
girls develop confidence, courage, character and the skills needed
to thrive in today's world.
"Girl Scouts has always encouraged our members to discover their
strengths, learn new skills and rise to new challenges – gaining
friends and mentors along the way," said Corby Herschman, director of institutional
giving at Girl Scouts of the USA.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Stacy's Pita Chips, a brand
that knows the importance of empowering women entrepreneurs to
succeed and thrive."
Since 2017, Stacy's has connected thousands of women
entrepreneurs with each other and invested thousands of dollars in
women-founded businesses through the Stacy's Rise Project, a grant
and mentorship program dedicated to helping women grow their
businesses. Over the years, Stacy's has created a community that
demonstrates the power of women coming together to lift each other
up and celebrate each other's successes.
"Stacy's believes that when women rise, we all rise. And now,
we're expanding this idea by supporting these entrepreneurs in
partnership with the Girl Scouts," said Rhasheda Boyd, vice president of marketing at
Frito-Lay, "We always seek to bring more meaning to everyday
moments, whether through impactful actions for our community or
unexpected and delicious new flavors. Just like our pita chips,
this is an artfully crafted partnership that we are thrilled to
share with our fans."
From the Girl Scouts to grocery shelves, Stacy's is bringing the
popular Thin Mints flavor to stores nationwide starting in
September for a limited time only. Shoppers can join Stacy's in
