Marietta Dollar Tree Distribution Center Demolished By EF-3 Tornado

A big economic driver for the town of Marietta took a direct hit from the tornados over the weekend.

The Dollar Tree distribution center in town was demolished, leaving hundreds of workers wondering what's next.

Dollar Tree officials say they are thankful none of the 456 people who worked at the Marietta distribution center were hurt in the storm.

Right now, they say their top priority is making sure their workers have the support they need.

Leaders are finding temporary work relocations for them and allowing them access to the Company’s Associate Relief Fund.

The EF-4 tornado that demolished the one-million-square-foot Dollar Tree distribution center, is the only Dollar Tree in the region that was hit.

State and Federal leaders visited the site and said they're confident they'll get the support needed to bounce back.

Officials with the company say they are making sure stores nearby, are being supplied with enough product while the Marietta center is down.

The company is also partnering with the American Red Cross to help support immediate community needs.
