Online Sales Have Already Started
Be sure to let your Scouts know that they can sell popcorn online already using their Scout ID. If you need help setting up your seller ID, check out this tutorial here. This popcorn will ship out directly from Pecatonica River Popcorn. Make sure your customers use your Scout’s respective seller ID number so they can be credited appropriately. All the other tutorial videos are located here.

Show and Sell Sign up Surveys
The Pick 'n Save sign up link is now live. Please see our Google sheets page to find a Pick 'n Save location that works for your unit. Per Pick ‘n Save..., “Pease be respectful of others when using this registration. We ask that you only sign-up for stores located within your council and up to 3 total slots per troop (a maximum of 1 slot per day). Please remember to wear your uniforms, act professionally and clean up after yourselves including removing all trash. Thank you and best wishes for a successful selling season."
The Festival Foods signups are now live. Sign up for Festival Foods by August 25th as signups close that evening. Please check back to sign up there with your local Festival Foods store. Please keep in mind that Festival does not allow direct solicitation, and Scouts need to bring their own tables and chairs. Please see the Festival Foods cart lobby contract for more information.
Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, or other grocery stores.
At this time, most other major retail/grocery stores work with Scouts on a one on one basis. Please contact your local store to figure out if they will allow Scouts to sell at their store. Speak to the store manager or whomever handles their scheduling.
Using a Square
Numerous studies show less people always are usually carry cash. According to some polls, roughly 43% of people always, or most of the time carry cash. This means that 57% of people rarely or never have cash on them. Having a Square will not only boost your sales figures, but it will also make transactions easier. Be sure to start setting up your “Square Shop” now. Look for specially made Square images of our popcorn products here.
Go to Squareup.com/i/prpopcorn2 to get a reduced processing rate of 2.6% + $0.10 per swipe.
Popcorn Warehouse Help Wanted
We need your help. Sorting over 20,000 cases of popcorn is no small task. If you are able to help us for any amount of time on any of the days, please sign up to help us with our distribution.
