In January 2020, the center lost several stores, increasing its vacancy to eighteen percent.[9][10] Several more stores closed during the Promenade's March 17, 2020 to June 5, 2020 COVID-19 pancemic shutdown, increasing vacancy to twenty-five percent.[4] Centennial Advisory Services and MSC took over leasing and management of The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley in April 2022.[3]
In April 2024, the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley was renamed Promenade Saucon Valley due to the repositioning of the center and tenant changes.[11][12]
