Kirks Originals Creaming Soda

Kirks is a historic Australian soft drink brand that traces its roots back to 1865. Originally founded by James Kirkpatrick in Queensland, the brand became famous for its range of uniquely flavoured carbonated beverages, with Creaming Soda remaining one of its most iconic and popular varieties. For over a century, Kirks has been a staple of Australian culture, often associated with family gatherings and summer traditions.

Technically, the brand is manufactured locally in Australia to ensure freshness and keep up with high regional demand. While it began as an independent family business named Helidon Gardner, it went through several ownership changes over the decades during the consolidation of the Australian beverage industry.

Today, Kirks is owned and managed by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), one of the world's largest bottling companies. Specifically, the brand is under the umbrella of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (Australia) Pty Ltd. Ownership by CCEP, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom, provides the brand with extensive distribution networks across Oceania while maintaining its classic Australian identity through its 'Originals' branding.
