Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR) stock opened at $90.11 on October 3, 2025, down 0.14%, as the company announced plans for a new 1.25 million sq. ft. distribution center in Litchfield Park, Arizona.
The site, located outside Phoenix, is expected to open in spring 2026 and bring 400 new jobs to the local community.
Chief Supply Chain Officer Roxanne Weng said the facility will enhance store replenishment speed and efficiency. The site will service stores in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, making it one of the company’s largest distribution hubs.
Expansion and Supply Chain Strengthening
The Litchfield Park project comes shortly after the groundbreaking of Dollar Tree’s new 1 million sq. ft. distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma. That facility, scheduled to open in spring 2027, replaces the one destroyed by a tornado in April 2024. It will support nearly 700 stores across the West and Southwest.
