Dollar Tree is “making solid progress” building a more resilient and scalable supply chain through several initiatives, Chief Supply Chain Officer Roxanne Weng told Supply Chain Dive in an email.
Most recently, the retailer on Wednesday opened a 1 million-square-foot distribution center in Litchfield Park, Arizona, to help improve delivery speed to stores.
The warehouse is expected to begin outbound deliveries next month and will move product to about 700 stores located across the West and Southwest, Weng said.
The facility enables Dollar Tree to support large-scale distribution in multiple states, including Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. It also helps create more consistent service and inventory flow, Weng added.
