Dollar Tree, Inc., a member of Food Shippers of America (FSA), celebrated the opening of its 1-million-square-foot distribution center in Litchfield Park, AZ, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this month. Dollar Tree had announced its purchase of the property late last year.

The discount retailer announced it purchased the turnkey facility last October. Outbound deliveries begin next month, shipping to approximately 700 stores across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.

“The ribbon cutting is a celebratory moment for our teams and strengthens our supply chain in the Southwest and West,” says Roxanne Weng, Chief Supply Chain Officer with the company. “This facility will help us move product closer to our stores and serve customers more quickly. We are proud to be part of the local community and bring nearly 400 jobs to the area.”

The new facility is part of Dollar Tree’s broader effort to enhance its distribution network, increase capacity, improve speed to stores, and support continued growth across its store footprint, she says.

Dollar Tree plans to open its next distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma, in spring 2027, with a return to the community after the prior facility was destroyed by a tornado in April 2024. With a team of approximately 150,000 associates, Dollar Tree operates more than 9,200 stores and 19 distribution centers across 48 contiguous states and seven Canadian provinces under the brands Dollar Tree and Dollar Tree Canada.
