Can my employer transfer me to another store just because they want my brother to manage the store I am currently in?

I work at one store as an employee and my brother works at another store as a ASM. Since our Store Manager is leaving, they are thinking of promoting and transferring him to my store and transferring me (his sister) out. Can they do this? Do they have to reimburse me for mileage spent working 10 miles away from store I am currently in?
