Dollar Tree has officially begun construction of a new one-million-square-foot distribution hub in Marietta, Oklahoma, replacing the facility destroyed by a tornado in April 2024. The project is slated to be fully operational by spring 2027 and will support 700 Dollar Tree stores across the western and southwestern United States.
“This ground-breaking is a significant and celebratory moment for Dollar Tree and the Marietta community,” said Dollar Tree CEO Mike Creedon. “Our rebuilt distribution centre demonstrates our commitment to the region, which is inspired by the community’s strength and resilience. We look forward to welcoming back many of our former associates, creating hundreds of new jobs for the community, and continuing to strengthen our foundation for the future.”
The new hub will create 400 jobs, reinforcing Dollar Tree’s local economic impact.
“This distribution centre represents a renewal of our deep support for the Marietta community and an important step forward for Dollar Tree,” added Roxanne Weng, chief supply chain officer. “We are rebuilding this facility from the ground up, marking a critical investment for our supply chain and ensuring long-term growth and opportunity in the region.”
The announcement comes on the heels of strong second-quarter results for 2025, with Dollar Tree reporting net sales of $4.6 billion, a 12.3% increase year-over-year. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.77, surpassing analyst expectations of $0.40, while same-store sales grew 6.5%, driven by higher customer traffic and increased transaction values.
Dollar Tree operates over 9,000 stores and 18 distribution centers in the contiguous U.S. and parts of Canada under the Dollar Tree and Dollar Tree Canada brands, employing roughly 150,000 people.
The new Oklahoma facility represents a critical infrastructure investment, enhancing Dollar Tree’s supply chain resilience while reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to both regional communities and national retail operations.
