ABOUT MIDAS OF TUPELO-OXFORD-COLUMBUS:
Midas of Tupelo-Oxford-Columbus in 2023 went under new ownership through Jason Weatherford. The Midas brand Midas International, LLC is an American chain of automotive service centers that was established in April 1956 by Nate H. Sherman and the first Midas Muffler shop opened that year in Macon, Georgia. The name “Midas” is an acronym for Muffler Installation Dealers’ Association. Initially, the chain specialized in the replacement of mufflers, but in recent years, they have expanded their services to include most routine and common automobile maintenance tasks, such as brakes, fluid changes, and suspensions. The name “Midas” is derived from the legendary King Midas and his golden touch, hence the slogan “Trust the Midas Touch.”
