Midas Spring Water is the oldest manufacturer in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and one of the oldest bottled water companies in the country. Midas was one of the few companies engaged in home and office delivery and continues to do so today.
The last decade brought a new chapter to the history of Midas with the purchase of the property by two brothers looking for developable property. Upon finding out about the spring and the unique mineral-rich properties, the brothers decided to continue the bottling of the water, even potentially becoming a draw for people the way many of the great springs of Europe do. One of the brothers likens the Midas spring to the medieval town of Fiuggi, in the hills south of Rome. “Michelangelo, the popes, they all drank at Fiuggi, and it is known for curing kidney stones,” he says. “The only difference is that our water may be better.”
