W.E. Willis Liquors of Greenville is part of a family-owned and operated small chain that has served upstate SC for almost 75 years. Theron Earl (T.E.) Willis opened a supermarket in Travelers Rest, SC, in the 1940s, calling it T.E. Willis Grocery, the first supermarket in town. His son, Warren Earl, took over the family business in 1976 and renamed it W.E. Willis Stores. Warren Earl and his wife, Ann, grew the chain to include three local liquor stores and seven convenience stores in upstate SC. Their daughter, Chandra Willis-Kasa, took a large role in the family business in 2019. The company's trademark "Thank You" came from T.E.'s commonly used response to visitors.

Community involvement is a core part of the company's culture. The stores support local churches, schools, clubs, and sports teams. Each Christmas, the W.E. Willis Family Toy Drive and Christmas Dinner provides a complete holiday meal with turkey, dressing, and all the fixings for 10 area families, while toys collected in the convenience stores from Thanksgiving through Christmas are delivered by Santa. The chain also partners with OneBlood, which visits one store each month to host blood drives.

The stores have built a solid reputation among their customers, supported by a steady record of repeat and referred business. The locations are clean and well-stocked, and the staff provides attentive customer service and a wide variety of brands and prices for liquor products.
