New York, NY (April 1, 2019) – Goodwill® Industries of Greater NY and Northern NJ, Inc. is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Price.com for Enterprise, to further its dedication to provide affordable shopping options to the community. With the Price.com for Enterprise white label browser extension developed specifically for Goodwill NYNJ, consumers shopping for new items on other online sites can find used options on ShopGoodwill.com/nynj.
