LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ (May 15, 2026) -- Dollar Tree has opened a new one million-square-foot distribution center in Litchfield Park, Arizona, outside Phoenix, with outbound deliveries expected to begin next month, the value retailer announced Thursday.
The climate-controlled facility is one of Dollar Tree’s largest distribution centers and will serve approximately 700 stores across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. The company now operates 19 distribution centers supporting more than 9,240 stores across North America.
“This facility will help us move product closer to our stores and serve customers more quickly,” said Roxanne Weng, Dollar Tree’s chief supply chain officer, in a news release.
The Litchfield Park facility is part of a broader supply chain initiative, meaning Dollar Tree is investing in the behind-the-scenes system that moves products from manufacturers and warehouses to store shelves. For a retailer, the supply chain includes distribution centers, trucking, inventory systems, warehouse technology, temperature-controlled storage, and delivery timing to stores.
In practical terms, Dollar Tree’s supply chain initiative is designed to make its distribution network faster, more efficient, and more reliable. The company is expanding and modernizing distribution centers, adding temperature-controlled capacity and replacing older warehouse and yard management systems with cloud-based platforms. Those upgrades are intended to improve inventory planning, increase visibility into product movement, reduce out-of-stock items, ease congestion in store back rooms, and strengthen the company’s overall cost structure.
The Arizona facility also reinforces the Phoenix metro area’s growing role as a major logistics and distribution hub for the Southwest. By placing more products closer to stores in Arizona and surrounding states, Dollar Tree can shorten delivery routes, improve store replenishment, and better support regional growth.
Dollar Tree plans to open its next distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma, in spring 2027, after rebuilding a facility destroyed by a tornado in April 2024. The new Marietta facility is also expected to total one million square feet and serve about 700 Dollar Tree stores in the Southwest and West.
