PHOENIX — Take a deep, sweet breath, Phoenicians: The Girl Scouts won’t be running out of cookies anytime soon.

Fans of the sweets were worried after orders nationwide were delayed after Thin Mints were placed on backorder.

That’s not the case in the Phoenix area.

“No worries over here,” spokeswoman Leandra Huffer said. “We have plenty of cookies.

Huffer said Phoenix’s council is not experiencing any shortages and expects to be slinging treats — Thin Mints included — until March 8.
