CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Dollar Tree Inc. has begun rebuilding its Marietta, Oklahoma, distribution center, marking a major step forward after the company’s previous facility was destroyed by a tornado in April 2024. The retailer held a groundbreaking ceremony on September 24, attended by state and community leaders, including Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, U.S. Senator James Lankford, and Marietta Mayor Destry Rushing.
The new one-million-square-foot facility is expected to be fully operational by spring 2027. Once completed, it will serve approximately 700 Dollar Tree stores across the western and southwestern United States, creating about 400 jobs.
“Today’s groundbreaking is a significant and celebratory moment for Dollar Tree and the Marietta community,” said Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer, Dollar Tree. “Our rebuilt Distribution Center demonstrates our commitment to the region, which is inspired by the community’s strength and resiliency. 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.”
As part of the ceremony, Dollar Tree announced $50,000 in community grants to support local organizations, including the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Big Five Community Action, Community Youth Services of Southern Oklahoma, Marietta Special Olympics, the Marietta Police Department, and the Love County Fire Department.
“This distribution center represents a renewal of our deep support for the Marietta community and an important step forward for Dollar Tree,” said Roxanne Weng, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Dollar Tree. “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.”
