Goody's announced Monday it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will close protection and will close 103 stores and an Arkansas distribution center.

A Goody's Corporate Office spokesperson tells NBC Augusta
they do not relocate their employees.

However, they do encourage their employees to apply at other Goody's locations that are still open.

A closing date has not been set.
