It's Time for the Cookie Booth Lottery
Hello Troop Cookie Managers & Leaders,

Happy New Year! Our booth lottery submission period opens at 8:00 am, tomorrow, Monday, January 3.

Our Cookie Booth Lottery is a way for us to fairly distribute booth opportunities that locations that are in high demand. These locations are primarily in the KC Metro area.
 
Troops outside of the metro should contact their SU PPM for most locations in their areas however any troop is welcome to enter a lottery for a “destination” store like Bass Pro.
 
The booth lottery opens January 3 at 8:00 am and closes at 11:59 pm on January 8.
 
Lottery results will be announced, via email from noreply@abcsmartcookies.com midday, January 9.

 
ADDITIONAL BOOTH LOTTERY NOTES:

Emails received are auto-generated and will tell you if your troops was, or was not, assigned a location

Troops not assigned a location will be contacted by council starting January 10. The email indicates to contact us – please do not. All troops who entered, but were not placed are contacted by the Product Program Team in an effort to find a mutually agreeable location.

During the timeframe when the Product Program Team is working on this process, the booth tab on Smart Cookies will not be visible. We will announce the tab's return via a future Cookiegram and details on First Come, First Serve (FCFS) booths.
 
You will not find Sam’s Clubs, Walmarts, Walmart Neighborhood Markets in the booth lottery. Permission to contact these stores is granted by a national agreement with GSUSA. As part of the agreement we were not allowed to contact these stores until January 2022. For that reason, we will host separate lotteries for these locations. Please watch your email for more information as it becomes available. Our team is working as quickly as possible and hope to have some lotteries open this week and prior to the initial order deadline on January 14.
 
For more information on booths, the booth lotteries and FCFS booths visit the Cookie Booths section of Cookie Central.
