Lehi Roller Mills was founded in 1906 by a co-op of farmers.
George G. Robinson purchased the mill in 1910, and it has since remained in the Robinson family, currently run by George's grandson, R. Sherman Robinson.

At the turn of the 21st century, Lehi Roller Mills was among thousands of such family-owned mills operating in the United States.
Fewer than fifty remain today.
High demand keeps the mill grinding around the clock, six days a week, and the mill produces some 100,000 pounds of flour each day.
However, in 2012, the Mills filed for bankruptcy with the intention of continuing to operate during the proceedings.

Lehi Roller Mills was featured in the 1984 film Footloose as Ren McCormack's (Kevin Bacon) workplace and as the site of the dance.

The iconic turkey and peacock flour paintings of Lehi Roller Mills were painted on the silos about 1930 by Stan Russon of Lehi, Utah.
He used a rope and pulley system to manually raise and lower himself to be able to paint.

At the time the film was made, Lehi Roller Mills was surrounded by nothing but vacant fields.
In one scene, the Reverend Shaw Moore (John Lithgow) and his wife Vi Moore (Dianne Wiest) keep a wary eye on the proceedings while standing in a field some distance away.
The area is now home to a variety of fast food restaurants and a shopping center.

The Lehi Roller Mills were listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
