“Over the past two years, we have seen the value that Will brings to the organization and we are excited to work alongside of him, our leadership team and our franchisees to take Midas to the next level,” said Brant Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Franchise Operations for TBC Corp., parent company of Midas. “His operational expertise, leadership experience and knowledge of the industry has been and will continue to be beneficial to our organization.”

Prior to joining Midas, Helton held positions of increasing responsibility, most recently as region manager, over the course of 16 years with Bridgestone.
