Goodwill Manasota Inc. has hired Priscilla Frye, a former Bealls executive to be its director of real estate and market development. In her new role Frye will be in charge of site selection, lease negotiations for retail stores and project management of new sites. Prior to working for Bealls, Frye served as retail site acquisition manager and national acquisitions and transition manager for AT&T. “With a background in corporate real estate management, Priscilla is a welcome addition to the Goodwill team,” says Bob Rosinsky, Gooodwill Manasota’s president and CEO, in a statement.
Goodwill Manasota operates ten retail stores, seventeen donation centers, two clearance centers; and a trio of bookstores in Bradenton, Sarasota and Venice. The organization moved into a new $12 million, 65,000-square-foot headquarters at 2705 51st Ave. E, in Manatee County in 2014. The nonprofit placed 961 people in jobs and assisted more than 350 veterans in re-integrating back into the civilian workforce last year.
