Dollar Tree Constructing New Arkansas DC

Dollar Tree is returning to West Memphis, Ark., with a new distribution center the retailer said would create more than 300 jobs. 

With capacity to serve up to 1,000 Family Dollar stores in the region, the new facility will be fully operational by fall 2024. Currently, there are more than 200 Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores in Arkansas and additional stores are planned through 2026. 

“This is more than a reopening, it’s a transformation. Our West Memphis facility will have a full interior demolition and wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling rebuild,” said Mike Kindy, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer with Dollar Tree, Inc. “This integral distribution center will drive industry-leading product safety standards, offer an excellent employment experience, strengthen our bonds with the community and better support our Family Dollar stores who depend on us throughout the region.”

The 850,000-sq. ft. facility will include a full interior demolition and remodel, with new features like added building-wide temperature control, automated LED lighting, racking, expanded associate amenities and office space.
