Gardner established his first business in William Street, Brisbane in 1853 to distribute spa water from Helidon, near the base of the Toowoomba Range. Although Gardner died in 1888, his business Owen Gardner and Sons continued well into the 20th century with a new factory opened on the corner of Boundary and Melbourne Streets in 1914. Helidon Gardner Ltd. was formed when Owen Gardner and Sons merged with the Helidon Spa Water Company in 1959. In December 1964, Helidon Gardner became a subsidiary of Associated Products and Distribution Pty Ltd, which in turn was a subsidiary of British Tobacco (Australia) Ltd, known today as Coca-Cola Amatil.47 Kirks is still owned by Coca-Cola Amatil today, along with a host of other well-known brands in the Asia-Pacific such as Mount Franklin, Golburn Valley, SPC and Deep Spring. Before the 2000 merger under Coca-Cola Amatil, Kirks sold its creaming soda under the name "Kandy". |
