How much does a Restore Hyper Wellness franchise cost?
A new single Restore Studio requires an estimated initial investment of $762,448 to $1,236,588. That is the range disclosed by Restore Franchising, LLC in its 2026 U.S. Franchise Disclosure Document for the standard Studio offered under a Franchise Agreement. It includes the $44,500 Initial Franchise Fee and $75,000 to $100,000 of Additional Funds for the first three months of operations.
The current U.S. offering is for a Restore Hyper Wellness retail Studio that provides or facilitates access to Core Services, Specialty Services, and other Authorized Services approved by Restore Franchising. The official Restore franchise website describes the franchise opportunity, but the cost figures in this article use the newer 2026 FDD rather than older totals still displayed on parts of that website.
Data basis. Legal franchisor: Restore Franchising, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. FDD issuance date: April 6, 2026. Formats reviewed: one single Restore Studio under the Franchise Agreement and a Multi-Unit Development Agreement for three or more Studios. Principal cost sources: Item 5, pages 11–13; Item 6, pages 13–20; Item 7, pages 21–27; Item 10, page 34; and cost-relevant provisions in Items 8, 11, and 17. Information checked July 22, 2026. No matching 2026 FDD copy was located on a franchise-controlled public website, so FDD citations below are plain-text Item and page references.
The official investment page still displays a $817,674 to $1,289,925 total and the official franchise FAQ identifies that figure as 2024 FDD information. The April 6, 2026 FDD is newer and discloses $762,448 to $1,236,588, so the 2026 range controls this analysis.
What is included in the 2026 Restore initial investment?
The Item 7 total combines the Initial Franchise Fee with premises costs, construction, equipment, supplies, marketing, training travel, insurance, and working capital. The widest single range is Leasehold Improvements at $325,000 to $600,000 for a leased Studio, which is why site condition, landlord contribution, local construction pricing, and square footage can materially change the total.
Premises, design, and professional costs
For one leased Studio in the 2026 FDD, Restore’s construction estimate is based on premises generally measuring about 1,600 to 2,800 square feet, with most Studios expected to be approximately 1,800 to 2,400 square feet. The Leasehold Improvements range is net of an estimated tenant upfit allowance of $0 to $300,000. A high-cost metropolitan market, a larger site, or a limited landlord contribution may push construction above the disclosed range. FDD Item 7, pages 23–24.
| Item 7 expenditure | Amount | Payment trigger | FDD page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architect Fees | $15,000–$30,000 | As incurred | 21 |
| Permitting Fees | $3,000–$10,000 | As incurred | 21, 23 |
| Leasehold Improvements | $325,000–$600,000 | As incurred | 21, 23–24 |
| Frontage Sign | $7,000–$15,000 | As incurred | 21 |
| Furnishings & Fixtures | $13,000–$30,000 | As incurred | 21 |
| Three Months’ Rent | $9,000–$44,000 | Per landlord requirements | 21, 24 |
| Security Deposit | $3,000–$16,000 | Per landlord requirements | 21, 24 |
| Professional Fees | $5,000–$10,000 | As incurred | 22, 25 |
| Commercial Surety Bond premium | $500–$2,000 | Upon lease execution | 22, 25 |
| Insurance Cost | $12,500–$19,000 | Upon lease execution | 22, 25 |
If the franchisee purchases land and constructs a building, Restore says it cannot estimate the real-estate acquisition, site-development, or building-construction cost. The published single-Studio total therefore should not be applied to an owned-real-estate project without a separate property budget. FDD Item 7, page 24.
Equipment, technology, supplies, and delivery
For one Studio in the 2026 FDD, the Equipment estimate covers required wellness and clinical assets from designated vendors, including whole-body cryotherapy, local cryotherapy, red-light therapy, infrared sauna, mild hyperbaric oxygen, compression, and esthetic equipment. An InBody 380 Body Composition Analyzer is also included for Studios that elect to offer advanced medical therapies. Equipment is ordered when the Studio enters permitting, and suppliers may require a deposit or full payment before delivery. FDD Item 7, pages 23–24.
| Item 7 expenditure | Amount | Payment trigger | FDD page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment | $169,389–$204,689 | During permitting; supplier terms apply | 21, 24 |
| Technology System | $6,000–$20,000 | Two months before Projected Opening Date | 22, 24 |
| Medical Supplies | $10,000–$13,000 | One month before Projected Opening Date | 22 |
| Esthetician Supplies | $10,000–$11,000 | One month before Projected Opening Date | 22 |
| Materials and General Supplies | $10,500–$15,000 | As incurred | 21–22 |
| Shipping & Handling Costs | $9,999–$16,399 | As incurred | 22, 24 |
| Equipment Installation Costs | $4,560–$5,000 | As incurred | 22, 24 |
Item 8 requires specified Operating Assets, Technology System components, fixtures, furnishings, signs, and supplies to be purchased or leased from Restore, Hyper Supply, or designated and approved suppliers. Those supplier restrictions can change and may require later upgrades or replacements at the franchisee’s expense. FDD Item 8, pages 27–32.
Training travel, launch marketing, and working capital
For a single-Studio opening under the 2026 FDD, Launch Training itself is provided without a tuition charge for the Operator, General Manager, Lead Nurse, and Lead Esthetician, but the franchisee pays compensation, travel, lodging, and meals. The $25,000 Grand Opening Marketing Expenses minimum is separate from post-opening Brand Fund and local marketing obligations. FDD Item 7, pages 21 and 24; Item 11, pages 35–48.
| Item 7 expenditure | Amount | What it covers | FDD page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel Costs for Launch Training | $4,500–$6,000 | Travel for 3–4 required attendees | 21 |
| Grand Opening Marketing Expenses | $25,000 | Campaign beginning at least five months pre-opening and ending no earlier than 45 days after opening | 21, 24 |
| Additional Funds — Three Months | $75,000–$100,000 | Payroll, three months of marketing, bookkeeping, payroll services, utilities, deposits, incorporation, installations, and incidental facilities expenses | 22, 25–26 |
Additional Funds are already inside the $762,448 to $1,236,588 Item 7 total. They should not be added a second time. The estimate includes post-opening employee payroll but excludes any draw or salary for the owner. FDD Item 7, pages 25–26.
When is the money paid?
Restore costs are not paid in one lump sum. The Franchise Agreement starts the fee sequence, while the lease, permitting phase, construction schedule, equipment orders, and Projected Opening Date determine when most of the remaining capital is deployed.
Sign the Franchise Agreement. Pay the $44,500 Initial Franchise Fee. Restore generally treats it as earned and nonrefundable, subject to the limited site-selection refund described below. FDD Item 5, pages 11–12.
Secure an accepted site and execute the lease. Rent, Security Deposit, Commercial Surety Bond premium, and Insurance Cost become payable according to landlord or policy requirements. The FDD expects most franchisees to lease. FDD Item 7, pages 21–25.
Enter permitting and build-out. Architect Fees, Permitting Fees, Leasehold Improvements, signs, furnishings, fixtures, and Equipment are incurred. Restore states that equipment must be purchased when permitting begins, with supplier deposits or full payment potentially due before delivery. FDD Item 5, page 12; Item 7, pages 21–24.
Begin the grand-opening campaign. The minimum $25,000 campaign starts at least five months before the Projected Opening Date and continues through at least 45 days after opening. FDD Item 7, page 24; Item 11, pages 41–42.
Fund the final pre-opening purchases. The Technology System is scheduled two months before opening; Medical Supplies and Esthetician Supplies are scheduled one month before opening. FDD Item 7, page 22.
Open the Studio and fund the first operating period. Additional Funds cover three months. The Royalty Fee and Brand Fund Contribution are not charged on Gross Sales accrued during the first 90 days after the Business Opening Date, but other operating obligations can begin. FDD Item 6, pages 13–19; Item 7, pages 25–26.
Reach the second operating year. The 7% Royalty Fee becomes subject to a $3,500 Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee beginning in month 13 after the Business Opening Date. FDD Item 6, pages 18–19.
Restore estimates that most Studios open within 180 to 270 calendar days after the lease is signed. Licensing, permitting, financing, and construction can extend that period. FDD Item 11, page 38. The FTC separately explains that a prospective franchisee must receive the FDD at least 14 days before signing a binding agreement or paying the franchisor or an affiliate; see the FTC’s FDD review guidance.
A cash plan based only on the final Item 7 total misses the sequencing risk. Lease and construction payments can start months before opening, while the $25,000 launch campaign begins five months before the Projected Opening Date and working-capital needs continue after the doors open.
How does a Restore Multi-Unit Development Agreement change the cost?
A Multi-Unit Development Agreement requires a separate development commitment for at least three Restore Studios. The 2026 FDD discloses a $843,948 to $1,592,088 amount to begin operating under the agreement, consisting of a $126,000 to $400,000 Development Fee plus the initial investment for one Studio excluding that Studio’s initial franchise fee.
Per-Studio initial franchise fee by development commitment
Under the 2026 Multi-Unit Development Agreement, the per-Studio fee decreases as the agreed development commitment increases. These are Item 5 fee tiers, not estimates of each Studio’s full build-out cost.
The first payment under a Multi-Unit Development Agreement equals the full Initial Franchise Fees for Studios scheduled in the first Development Period plus 50% of the Initial Franchise Fees for the remaining Studios. The balance for a later Development Period is due within seven calendar days after that period begins. For a commitment of 20 or more Studios, the full Development Fee for all Studios is due within seven calendar days after signing. FDD Item 5, pages 12–13.
| Multi-unit component | 2026 disclosed amount | What the amount represents |
|---|---|---|
| Development Fee | $126,000–$400,000 | Assumes a commitment of three Studios at the low end and 20 Studios at the high end. |
| One Studio investment, excluding first Studio franchise fee | $717,948–$1,192,088 | Item 7 single-Studio range with the $44,500 single-unit Initial Franchise Fee removed. |
| Total to begin under the MUDA | $843,948–$1,592,088 | Development Fee plus the first Studio investment described above. |
The Multi-Unit Development Agreement total is not the full capital required to build three to 20 Studios. Item 7 says every additional Studio requires its own initial investment under a separate Franchise Agreement. The MUDA table does not include real estate, construction, equipment, inventory, deposits, licenses, or operating funds for all future Studios. FDD Item 7, pages 26–27.
Which Restore fees continue after opening?
The principal continuing charges are the Royalty Fee, Brand Fund Contribution, local marketing requirement, Monthly Technology Service Fee, and Credit Card Processing Fee. The percentage obligations use the FDD’s defined Gross Sales basis; they should not be converted into annual dollars without actual Studio sales.
| Continuing obligation | Amount or basis | Timing and qualification | FDD source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royalty Fee | 7% of Gross Sales | Monthly; no charge on first 90 days of Gross Sales; $3,500 monthly minimum begins in month 13 | Item 6, pp. 13–19 |
| Brand Fund Contribution | 2% of Gross Sales | Monthly; no charge on first 90 days of Gross Sales | Item 6, pp. 14–15 |
| Local Marketing | Greater of 2% of monthly Gross Sales or $2,000 | Direct monthly spend; approved cooperative contributions can count toward this requirement | Item 11, pp. 40–43 |
| Cooperative Advertising Program | Normally 2% of Gross Sales | Only if a cooperative is established; credits against the local marketing obligation and may be increased by the required vote | Item 6, pp. 14–15; Item 11, p. 43 |
| Monthly Technology Service Fee | Currently $600/month | Monthly, within seven days after invoice | Item 6, pp. 14–15 |
| Credit Card Processing Fee | Currently 2.7% per transaction | As incurred on each credit-card transaction, if permitted by law | Item 6, pp. 14–15 |
Gross Sales includes revenue generated by the Studio from Authorized Services and administrative services arrangements with an Authorized Care Provider, subject to the inclusions and exclusions defined in Item 6. Tips, gratuities, and certain taxes collected and remitted are excluded. FDD Item 6, pages 18–19.
Which costs are triggered by a later event?
For a Studio under the 2026 Franchise Agreement, Item 6 also creates charges that arise only when a particular event, request, default, transfer, or operational condition occurs.
- Marketing creative servicesCurrently $75 per hour when requested.
- Supplier inspection and testingThe cost of evaluating an unapproved supplier, product, or equipment proposal.
- Audit and default costsAudit costs can apply for missing reports, noncompliance, or a Gross Sales understatement of 5% or more; the current Administrative Fee is $1,000 for each specified uncured non-monetary default.
- Mystery shopperUp to $300 per mystery shop.
- Remedial or replacement trainingCurrent position-based charges include $500 for certain in-person General Manager or Lead Nurse training and $150 for specified virtual training, plus applicable travel and living costs.
- Late amountsInterest at the lesser of 18% per year or the highest rate permitted by state law.
- RelocationCurrent Relocation Fee of $10,000 if Restore approves a move.
- TransferCurrent fee of $1,000 for a non-controlling-interest transfer or $10,000 for a controlling-interest transfer.
- Renewal15% of the then-current standard Initial Franchise Fee, plus a requirement to enter a remodel agreement and complete the remodel within six months.
- Temporary management10% of Gross Sales, subject to a $5,000 monthly minimum, when Restore or its designee manages the Studio under specified default, abandonment, staffing, or post-termination circumstances.
- Variable reimbursement obligationsInsurance or bond procurement, remedial expenses, indemnification, legal costs, conventions, additional training, and required equipment or supply purchases can vary with the circumstances.

How much liquidity and net worth does Restore require?
The 2026 FDD does not state a minimum Liquid Capital or Net Worth threshold. Restore’s official franchise investment page, checked July 22, 2026, separately lists minimum financial requirements of $300,000 in liquidity and $1 million in Net Worth. Those are official website qualifications, not Item 7 cost categories and not substitutes for the $762,448 to $1,236,588 Estimated Initial Investment.
Because the official website’s investment total is tied to 2024 FDD information while its liquidity and Net Worth thresholds remain displayed, a prospective franchisee should ask Restore Franchising to confirm in writing which financial qualifications apply to the 2026 offer and whether they change for a Multi-Unit Development Agreement.
Does Restore finance the initial investment?
No franchisor financing is disclosed. Item 10 states that Restore Franchising does not offer direct or indirect financing and does not guarantee a franchisee’s note, lease, or other obligations. FDD Item 10, page 34.
The official Restore franchise FAQ separately says the brand works with the SBA and private lenders, and its support page refers to financing guidance. That language indicates possible introductions or assistance, not a commitment by Restore Franchising to lend money or guarantee approval. The SBA 7(a) program can support eligible uses such as real estate improvements, working capital, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and supplies, but the borrower applies through a lender and must satisfy the lender’s credit and repayment standards. SBA’s Lender Match information also states that matching does not guarantee a lender offer or loan approval.
Can the Initial Franchise Fee be reduced or refunded?
The 2026 FDD discloses limited fee incentives, but none of them reduces every Item 7 category. A qualified veteran who was honorably discharged and owns at least 51% of the franchised business receives a 10% discount from the standard Initial Franchise Fee. A qualified employee of Austin Cryo Ventures, LLC who owns at least 51% receives a 50% discount. FDD Item 5, page 11.
The Initial Franchise Fee is generally nonrefundable. A franchisee may qualify for a 50% refund, less Restore’s administration and training costs, only if the parties cannot agree on a Studio location within 90 days after signing, Restore elects to terminate the Franchise Agreement, and the franchisee signs Restore’s required release. FDD Item 5, pages 11–12. Restore also reserves discretion to waive or reduce fees or offer case-specific incentives, so a negotiated concession should be documented in the signed agreements rather than assumed.
Which obligations can move the project outside the published range?
The 2026 total is an estimate for the disclosed Studio assumptions, not a cap. Real estate structure, local construction, landlord allowances, service configuration, supplier pricing, regulatory requirements, and the condition of an acquired Studio can create a different cost contract.
- Confirm the exact premises assumption.Document square footage, rent, Security Deposit, tenant upfit allowance, required Leasehold Improvements, and whether the project is a lease, build-to-suit lease, or owned-real-estate development.
- Obtain current designated-supplier quotes.Separate Equipment, installation, shipping, Medical Supplies, Esthetician Supplies, Technology System hardware, software, licenses, and later upgrade obligations.
- Map the Authorized Services to local law.Permitting, insurance, professional legal review, and arrangements with a Professional Entity or other Authorized Care Provider may vary by state and by the Specialty Services approved for the Studio.
- Reconcile the opening calendar to cash calls.Match the lease date, permitting phase, equipment deposits, five-month marketing start, two-month technology deadline, one-month supply orders, Launch Training travel, and three-month Additional Funds period.
- Separate a resale or company-owned Studio acquisition.Item 7 says an existing Company-owned Studio may require a greater or smaller investment, with price and payment terms determined by agreement; no resale range is disclosed.
- Request a format-specific written estimate.Item 1 says Restore may authorize a Studio with a scaled-down list of Authorized Services in some geographic areas, but Item 7 does not publish a separate investment range for that configuration.
- For multi-unit development, budget every Studio.The MUDA amount covers the Development Fee and the first Studio structure described in Item 7, not the full build-out of every Studio in the Development Schedule.
What capital decision does the 2026 disclosure support?
The verified starting point for one leased Restore Studio is $762,448 to $1,236,588, including a $44,500 Initial Franchise Fee and $75,000 to $100,000 of Additional Funds for three months. Leasehold Improvements and Equipment account for the largest disclosed cost categories, while owned real estate, a resale, and some location-specific regulatory or service configurations remain outside a separate official range.
After opening, the capital model must also absorb the 7% Royalty Fee, 2% Brand Fund Contribution, local marketing requirement, $600 Monthly Technology Service Fee, payment-processing charges, required supplier purchases, and event-triggered obligations. The separate $300,000 liquidity and $1 million Net Worth thresholds shown on Restore’s website are qualification measures, not evidence that $300,000 is sufficient to open the Studio.
