Gander Mountain in Newnan will be located in a new 52,000-square-foot store located at 361 Newnan Crossing Bypass, in the Newnan Crossing shopping center, just off I-85 at exit 47.  It will be the fifth Gander Mountain location in Georgia, joining existing stores in Albany and Valdosta, a recently-opened store in McDonough, and a new store in Augusta that will also open in the fall.
