Franchise Opportunity Deep Dive: Restore Hyper Wellness offers a membership-driven wellness franchise with cryotherapy, IV therapy, red light therapy and other recovery services.
Restore Hyper Wellness has become one of the fastest-growing concepts in the rapidly expanding wellness industry by making services once reserved for elite athletes and medical clinics available through an accessible retail format. Through therapies including cryotherapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy, IV drips, biomarker testing, compression therapy and hyperbaric oxygen, Restore aims to help customers improve recovery, optimize performance and support long-term health.
Restore Hyper Wellness traces its origins to 2014, when its founders sought to make cutting-edge wellness therapies more accessible to everyday consumers rather than limiting them to professional athletes or specialty medical providers. The first Restore location opened in Austin, Texas, focusing primarily on cryotherapy before steadily expanding its offerings to include a broad suite of preventive wellness and recovery services.
The franchise system officially launched in 2016 under Restore Franchising, LLC, which continues to oversee franchise development from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. Today, Restore studios provide customers with a growing menu of wellness services that combine technology, clinical oversight and personalized health recommendations under one roof.
Mission: Restore's mission is to help people "do more of what they love" by expanding the limits of personal health, recovery and longevity through science-backed wellness therapies.
Vision: Restore aims to become the leading national destination for proactive health by making advanced wellness services more convenient, personalized and accessible to consumers seeking long-term performance and preventive care.
Restore continues expanding throughout the United States and offers both single-unit and multi-unit development opportunities depending on market availability. The company actively works with qualified franchise candidates to identify protected territories based on demographics, market demand and existing studio coverage.

Restore provides franchisees with comprehensive support throughout the development process, beginning shortly after the franchise agreement is signed. Before opening, franchisees receive guidance with site selection and lease negotiations, studio design and construction, equipment procurement, vendor coordination, permitting and pre-opening marketing. The franchisor also helps franchisees prepare for launch by coordinating equipment installation, establishing relationships with approved medical providers where required, and conducting opening readiness reviews to ensure each studio meets the brand's operational, clinical and design standards before welcoming its first customers.
Restore requires franchisees and key members of their management team to complete its Launch Training Program before opening a studio. Training combines classroom instruction, virtual learning and hands-on operational experience, covering every aspect of operating the business. Topics include brand standards, customer experience, membership sales, daily operations, staffing and hiring, financial management, marketing, technology systems, inventory management, retail sales, compliance and leadership development. The franchisor also provides role-specific instruction for General Managers, Lead Nurses and Lead Estheticians, along with replacement training and remedial training when necessary to maintain brand standards. Ongoing education, annual conferences and continuous operational updates help franchisees stay current as the business evolves.
Following opening, Restore continues supporting franchisees through dedicated business consultants who assist owners with financial performance, membership growth, staffing, local marketing and day-to-day operational best practices. Franchisees also receive ongoing access to operations manuals, purchasing support, vendor management, national marketing initiatives, local advertising guidance, performance benchmarking and assistance implementing new therapies and services as they are introduced across the system. Because Restore operates within a medically supervised wellness environment, franchisees also receive ongoing guidance related to regulatory compliance and working alongside designated medical providers responsible for administering specialty services.
Restore equips franchisees with a proprietary technology platform designed to streamline nearly every aspect of studio operations. The system includes a point-of-sale platform, membership management software, electronic medical records, scheduling tools, marketing automation, customer relationship management software, payment processing, inventory management and enterprise reporting dashboards. Franchisees also receive ongoing software updates, technical support and system enhancements as the brand continues expanding its wellness offerings and technology capabilities. According to the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Restore currently charges a monthly technology service fee of $600 to support these systems.
Restore generally seeks franchisees with strong leadership, business management and team-building skills. While prior health care experience is not required, candidates should be comfortable operating a customer service-focused business within a structured franchise system and managing teams that work alongside licensed medical professionals.
The company also actively recruits experienced multi-unit operators interested in developing multiple Restore studios through its multi-unit development program.
Restore is designed primarily as an executive-management franchise rather than an owner-operator business.
Owners are expected to hire a General Manager to oversee day-to-day operations while remaining actively involved in strategic planning, financial oversight, hiring, marketing and business development. Many franchisees build multi-unit portfolios by leveraging Restore's standardized operating systems and management structure.
Studios also employ clinical personnel, estheticians and wellness experts depending on local regulations and the services offered.
Restore does not directly finance franchise purchases. However, the company works with third-party lenders familiar with franchise financing and SBA lending programs. Qualified candidates may also utilize retirement account rollovers (ROBS), conventional commercial financing or other lending solutions to fund their investment.
"It's just been such a fun journey and such a fun place to be. I love our team. I love my store teams, I love my franchisee teams and my corporate team. It's just been really, really fun.
Opening a franchise with Restore has truly been life-changing for me personally. I started out not knowing anything about franchising. I was a stay-at-home mom for about 12 years before I started, and I knew nothing about owning a business or running a business other than my own household. The Restore corporate family completely took me under their wing and taught me so much.
I've learned a lot about myself, a lot about business and running a small business, and it's just been such a joy and such a fun journey for me personally.
Watching the whole system grow has also been incredible. To see where we started when I joined in 2017 compared to where we are now is amazing. It's incredible to see the types of people coming into the system and all the different faces we meet every day. It seems like there's a new store opening all the time, so it's been really exciting to watch the growth.
If you're not quite sure whether Restore is the right path for you, I'd encourage you to talk to some franchisees in the system. Get their opinions and hear about their experiences. If you talk to me, I'll always encourage you to do it because you have so much support from the corporate team, and you have an incredible amount of support from your fellow franchisees. The entire Restore family is so supportive and helpful. You're given a playbook, you're given all the support you need from both the corporate side and your franchise family, and then you just go for it."

The U.S. spa sector continues to demonstrate steady growth as consumers place greater emphasis on wellness, self-care and stress reduction. Industry revenue reached $23.5 billion in 2025, up 4.2% year over year, while spa visits climbed to 191 million and the number of spa locations increased to more than 22,000 nationwide. Revenue per visit also rose to approximately $123, reflecting consumers’ willingness to spend more on wellness experiences. The broader outlook remains favorable as demand expands beyond traditional massage and skincare services into recovery, longevity, preventive wellness and personalized treatments. For operators, the combination of rising guest traffic, higher spending per visit and sustained consumer interest in wellness creates a strong foundation for continued growth.
Restore’s primary competitors include: iCRYO, Perspire Sauna Studio, The DRIPBaR and Prime IV Hydration & Wellness.
Restore operates within the growing wellness clinic segment but differentiates itself through the breadth of its service offerings and membership-first business model. Rather than specializing in a single therapy, Restore combines cryotherapy, IV therapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy, biomarker testing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, esthetic services and advanced medical therapies within a single retail destination.
Prospective franchisees can begin the process by completing Restore Hyper Wellness' franchise inquiry form through the company's franchise development website.
