Goody's Family Clothing Inc (Goody's), which recently filed for Chapter 11 to restructure its operations, has selected DJM Realty, the leading national retail real estate disposition and restructuring firm, to exclusively manage the disposition project of 69 retail store leases located primarily throughout the Southeast.
During this process, Goody's, a retailer of moderately priced family apparel, will continue to remain fully operational and open for business as usual.
"These 69 Goody's stores that DJM Realty will be marketing range from 20,574 - 52,632 square feet. We are pleased to offer these prime real estate locations to retailers; The Goody's portfolio offers a unique mix of mid and big box stores located in freestanding locations and strip centers with strong retail co-tenants," said Emilio Amendola, Co-President of DJM Realty.

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
