More details to this question:
I was terminated from my job on Oct 1 2014. As of today i have heard from 2 reliable sources that one of my ex-coworkers (who is now a manager) is spreading lies about me to customers that shop at the store still. I want to know who i should be going after and if i have a right to sue the company itself since it is happening within their doors and hours of operation.

You may have the right to flie a defamation case against the manager, and possibly against the company. This depends on what is being said about you and whether the company is fully aware of this, or even encouraging this.
Speak to an employment law attorney to review your case in more detail
