Expand<\/a><\/p>\nThe mother daughter duo had just returned home from delivering cookies.<\/p>\n
Though Girl Scout Cookie season has just begun, Kuhlman has already sold 345 boxes and is making steady progress towards her goal of selling 1,250 in total. This year, she and her fellow troop members have decided to skip the sales incentive prizes for themselves, instead opting to donate their earnings to their major project this year \u2014 helping out kids in foster care.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to help purchase items that children in foster care often don\u2019t receive, like suitcases,\u201d Kuhlman said over the phone.<\/p>\n
But the Girl Scouts will still get a reward from their hard work this year. If they meet their donation goals, they\u2019re planning to celebrate with a trip to Disneyland.<\/p>\n
Cookie distribution started in earnest on Jan. 31, with troops descending on Santa Anita Park and other distribution centers with SUVs, pick-up trucks, and u-hauls to collect their goods for the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe distributed 2.6 million packages of cookies throughout Greater LA last Saturday. It was a huge effort, and a perfect example of Girl Scouts teamwork,\u201d Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles CEO Theresa Edy Kiene, wrote in an email. \u201cWhen you see Girl Scouts in your community \u2013 maybe at your front door \u2013 please support them. They are building their confidence and practicing things like managing money and group decision-making with their troop friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Local Girl Scout troops will be selling cookies all over Belmont Shore and Long Beach generally this weekend.<\/p>\n
You can find specific booth sites on girlscouts.org via the \u201ccookie finder,\u201d but here are some places they\u2019ll be selling:<\/p>\n

Noble Rotisserie relocates<\/p>\n
Noble Rotisserie is moving to a new location at 2ND & PCH.<\/p>\n
They will be reopening in a location inside the center, closer to the many activities that 2ND & PCH hosts.<\/p>\n
The new location \u2014 in the center\u2019s pavilion near the water fountain \u2014 is smaller than the eatery was before.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe smaller footprint reduces overhead, aligns our operations with guest demand, and allows us to operate sustainably at a time when many independent restaurants are navigating significant pressure,\u201d said owner Sidney Price in an email.<\/p>\n
The Price family\u2019s Noble Bird Rotisserie is known for its dairy, peanut,\u00a0 and tree nut-free menu. For many, this eatery is one of the only places that people with allergies are able to enjoy a meal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat isn\u2019t changing is the heart of our business,\u201d Price said. \u201cOur values, our cooking standards, and our commitment to serving our guests with transparency and care remain as strong as ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruxie, the chickens and waffle spot known for its frozen custard, has jumped on the Girl Scoot Cookie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,8132,3739,131,133,132,137,3738],"class_list":{"0":"post-165489","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-long-beach","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-grunion-business-beat","10":"tag-grunion-news","11":"tag-long-beach","12":"tag-long-beach-headlines","13":"tag-long-beach-news","14":"tag-los-angeles-county","15":"tag-the-grunion"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
