The company traces its origins to October 1935, when Mr. and Mrs. E.E. White began their business in Twin Falls. Mr. White had previously sold Maytag washers in Utah, Colorado, and Nevada, earning a reputation as the "Maytag Man" in Ely, Nevada. After the Maytag Company shifted to wholesale operations, Mr. White partnered with Nevada banker O.G. Bates. This relationship prompted the Whites to move to Twin Falls, where they opened a branch of the Nevada store and purchased it a year later. Wilson-Bates has been a family-run business since 1935, and the business is now operated by the Whites’ two sons and their daughter, with their current children also involved. Mr. White retired in the late 1970s, while Mrs. White continued to work until 1983.

The business has expanded over the decades, purchasing stores in Ely, Nevada, in 1955 and Elko in 2013. It operates as a social-purpose business, supporting community outreach and fundraising for organizations including The Boys & Girls Club, The Salvation Army, Idaho Food Bank, Pet Shelters & Clinics, Valley House, The College of Southern Idaho Scholarship Fund, United Way, Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Hospice Visions, Red Cross, National Wild Turkey Federation, St. Luke's Foundation, Toys For Tots, Sportsmen For Fish & Wildlife, and Special Olympics.
