The city of Newnan is currently reviewing development plans for a proposed Discount Tire store to be located near the intersection of Newnan Crossing Boulevard and Summerlin Boulevard. If approved, the project will bring a new retail tire and wheel service center to one of Newnan’s fastest-growing commercial corridors.
The plans, submitted for consideration by city officials, outline a new construction project on a currently vacant lot near the Summerlin community, adding another business to the already bustling Newnan Crossing area. Known for its convenient location and proximity to retail giants, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods, this section of town has become a hub for both commerce and new development.
Founded in 1960, Discount Tire has grown into one of the nation’s largest independent tire and wheel retailers, operating more than 1,100 stores across 36 states. Known for its commitment to competitive prices and customer service, the company offers a range of services, including tire replacement, tire rotation, flat repair, and wheel alignments.
Discount Tire’s business model focuses on speedy service and customer convenience, providing a quick in-and-out experience for drivers. If the Newnan store is approved, it will be a welcome addition for residents seeking affordable, fast, and reliable tire service within city limits.
The proposed site at Newnan Crossing Boulevard near Summerlin is an attractive location for new development. Over the past several years the area has seen significant growth driven by the expansion of retail, dining, and service businesses around Ashley Park and the Newnan Crossing shopping district. This corridor’s easy access to Interstate 85 makes it a prime choice for both national and regional businesses looking to serve the growing population of Newnan and surrounding communities.
The Stonebridge neighborhood, located just behind the proposed project site, will have convenient access to the Discount Tire store if plans come to fruition. The addition of the store would not only provide nearby residents with more automotive service options but could also increase local property values and drive additional traffic to the area’s businesses.
The city of Newnan’s planning and zoning department will carefully evaluate the project’s impact on traffic, safety, and infrastructure before rendering a final decision. Key considerations include how the new store will affect traffic patterns along Newnan Crossing Boulevard and whether existing roads and intersections can handle the increased traffic volume.
Additionally, the city will review site plans to ensure that parking, landscaping, and building design comply with local ordinances and zoning regulations. Public input may also be part of the review process, giving nearby residents and business owners an opportunity to voice their thoughts on the proposed development.
If approved, Discount Tire would add to the growing list of automotive service options in Newnan, creating jobs and offering more convenience to local drivers. While some community members may raise concerns about traffic congestion in the area, supporters will likely point to the economic benefits of adding another reputable national retailer.
As the Newnan Crossing and Summerlin area continues to grow, the city will need to carefully balance commercial development with quality-of-life considerations for nearby residents. The Discount Tire proposal is part of a larger trend of growth that reflects the city’s expanding commercial footprint and its increasing attractiveness to businesses.
The city’s decision on the Discount Tire project is expected in the coming months, pending the completion of reviews and any necessary revisions to the plans. If the project receives approval, construction could begin later this year, with a possible opening date sometime in late 2025 or early 2026.
Stay tuned for updates on the city’s review process and the potential impact of this new development on Newnan’s commercial landscape.
