Palmer Park Mall primarily serves as the main shopping mall for residents of the Easton area, including the townships of Bethlehem Township, Forks, Palmer, and Williams, and the boroughs of Glendon, West Easton, and Wilson.

Palmer Park Mall was first announced in October 1971 by the Hess's department store company, who claimed that they intended build a 300,000 square foot (27,871 m2) mall at the site of John Raub's farm in Palmer Township, with 35-40 stores and parking for 2,000 cars.

[3] Palmer Park Mall had its grand opening on August 16–18, 1973, at which point Hess's was the sole anchor.

[13] In January 2015, PREIT announced that it was planning on selling Palmer Park Mall along with four other properties.
