There’s a concert of flavors happening with the newest treat from Goodies Frozen Custard and Treats (200 Commerce Street) in Old Town.

Owner Brandon Byrd is collaborating with local Girl Scout Troop 60132 at George Washington Middle School throughout Girl Scout Cookie season (until March 18) with their double chocolate frozen custard. The eight-ounce $8 treat has Thin Mints and chocolate syrup.

“Thin Mints and chocolate custard have the most complex flavors,” Byrd told ALXnow. “We developed this great flavor, and I thought we should take it a step further with a popup event.”

Goodies will host the pop-up this Saturday (March 2) with the Girl Scouts from 1-4 p.m.
