Retailer celebrates landmark achievement by paying it forward – planting 9,000 trees with the Arbor Day Foundation

CHESAPEAKE, Va., May 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR) is proud to announce it has surpassed a major retail milestone with the opening of its 9,000th store, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the fastest-growing and most powerful value retailers in North America. With a footprint now spanning thousands of communities across the U.S. and Canada, this achievement reflects Dollar Tree’s steadfast focus on delivering value, convenience, and "thrill of the hunt" discovery in every aisle of every store. In celebration of this growth – and as a symbol of establishing roots in every community it serves – Dollar Tree is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 9,000 trees across North America.

From everyday essentials to unexpected delights, Dollar Tree is where shoppers come for unbeatable prices and leave with more than they expected. Whether it’s stocking up on trusted brands or uncovering the latest seasonal find, the experience is all about the "thrill of the hunt" – and with 9,000 stores and counting, that thrill is never far away.

"Reaching 9,000 stores is a powerful indicator of the strength of our brand and the loyalty of our associates and customers," said Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer, Dollar Tree, Inc. "It’s also a testament to our profitable growth strategy, creating long-term value for our shareholders. And perhaps most importantly, every new Dollar Tree store helps us deliver on our promise to offer great value, convenience, and the ‘thrill of the hunt’ discovery for millions of families in North America."

Dollar Tree is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 9,000 trees in support of strategic reforestation efforts across eastern Texas, including within Davy Crockett National Forest and Sam Houston National Forest. Dollar Tree is committed to investing in opportunities that positively impact the well-being, resilience, and livability of the communities it serves. Through this partnership, the Arbor Day Foundation is helping to maximize that impact by providing ecological benefits for future generations and restoring vulnerable ecosystems that help support the health of nearby communities.

Dollar Tree will commemorate this achievement locally with a grand opening celebration at the official 9,000th store in Plano, Texas. The 9,000th Dollar Tree store, located at 5920 W. Park Blvd features the latest store format designed to enhance the shopping experience, with an expanded product selection and updated layouts to make it easier than ever to explore all that Dollar Tree has to offer. Locally, the first 100 customers to arrive at the new Plano store on Thursday, May 15 (5920 W. Park Blvd., Plano, TX 75093) will receive a $20 Dollar Tree gift card.
