Dollar Tree Names New CEO
Dollar Tree has named Michael C. Creedon, Jr. as the company’s new chief executive officer.
Creedon joined Dollar Tree in 2022 as chief operating officer and has taken on increasing levels of responsibility over the past two years. In November 2024, Creedon was appointed interim chief executive officer, succeeding Rick Dreiling, who stepped down as chairman and CEO of Dollar Tree citing health issues.
Creedon is responsible for leading more than 200,000 associates and more than 16,000 stores across the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners.
“Following a search, we are unanimous as a Board in our belief that Mike is the right leader for Dollar Tree,” said Edward (Ned) J. Kelly, III, chairman of the Board. “His deep understanding of the business, coupled with his strategic vision and collaborative leadership, has earned the trust and respect of the entire organization. We have full confidence in Mike’s ability to guide the enterprise to growth and success.”
“It’s a privilege to lead Dollar Tree at such a pivotal time,” said Creedon. “My focus will continue to be on delivering long-term value to our associates, customers, and shareholders as a company that is rooted in strong values and operational excellence. I am thrilled and humbled to step into this leadership role as we remain focused on unlocking the enterprise’s full potential."
Before Dollar Tree, Creedon spent nearly a decade at Advance Auto Parts where he held several leadership positions, most recently as executive vice president and president of its U.S. stores. He also served in executive positions with Tyco International and ADT Security.
