The site started with a Boscov's Department Store in August 1972 and the mall was completed in 1975. The Boscov's store at Lebanon Valley Mall was the first Boscov's location outside of Berks County.[4] Lebanon Valley Mall Company built the mall on U.S. Route 422 on the west side of town. Boscov's served as one of the original anchor stores along with G. C. Murphy's discount division, Murphy's Mart. Other major tenants upon opening included Acme Markets, Rea & Derrick drugstore, Kinney Shoes, RadioShack, Zales Jewelers, Hardee's, General Nutrition Center, Waldenbooks, and a movie theater.[1] Boscov's is the parent company of the Lebanon Valley Mall Company, the malls developer.[2] In 1988, following the closure of the Acme Markets grocery store, Boscov's expanded into that space.[5]

Work on the next major expansion began in 1996 and JCPenney became a new anchor, but has since closed. Great Escape Lebanon Valley 10 opened at the mall in 2006, and was later changed to a Regal in 2014.[6] The mall previously had a Fox Theater. Hobby Lobby was announced to open at the mall in 2010, using the former JCPenney.[7][8][9] Planet Fitness opened in early 2014, using part of the former Ames space.[10][11] Price Rite opened in June 2015.[12][13]
