How Hydrate IV Bar

of Preventive Healthcare Franchising Is Redefining the Future

KATIE GILLBERG FOUNDER

& CEO

HYDRATE IV BAR

The wellness industry is no longer centered on treating illness after it appears. Today's consumers are investing in their health before problems arise, seeking solutions that help them perform better, recover faster, and live healthier lives. At the forefront of this transformation is Hydrate IV Bar, a franchise brand that has successfully combined clinical excellence with an elevated wellness experience.

Founded by Katie Gillberg, Hydrate IV Bar has evolved from a single location in Denver into one of the fastest-growing wellness franchise systems in the United States. With more than 30 locations operating across eight states, dozens of territories under development, and national recognition for its rapid expansion, the company has become a standout example of how vision, innovation, and operational discipline can create lasting success.

What began as one entrepreneur's personal wellness journey has become a franchise opportunity that is empowering business owners while changing the way communities approach proactive healthcare.
