The Dripbar (Unit)
The DRIPBaR franchise enables owners to operate wellness centers offering intravenous vitamin therapies (I.V. Vitamin Therapy Services) and additional approved products/services, typically providing practice management support to a Medical Director and licensed professionals to comply with medical regulations. Franchisees use the proprietary system, marks, training, and operational guidelines without practicing medicine themselves. The target market is men and women aged 18 and older interested in preventative care for a healthy, resilient lifespan.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 69 franchised outlets that operated for the entire Measuring Period (Jan. 1, 2024 - Dec. 31, 2024).
* Average gross revenue and median gross revenue are directly sourced from Table 3 on page 2. The average gross revenue was cross-verified by summing the 'Agg. Total' 2024 revenue from Table 1 ($16,342,054 for 36 outlets) and Table 2 ($10,758,952 for 33 outlets) and dividing by the total number of outlets (36 + 33 = 69), resulting in $27,101,006 / 69 = $392,768.20, which matches the value in Table 3. No explicit revenue data for top/bottom quartiles is provided. As stated in General Notes, point 2 on page 4, 'All Tables above only shows Sales data and does not reflect any costs or expenses that must be deducted from Sales to obtain net income or net profit figures.' Therefore, average net income, average net profit, average EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and best guess profit range fields are set to null due to the absence of expense or profit information.

Imagine walking into a wellness boom where IV drips promise vitality for the health-obsessed crowd, but can a young franchise like The DRIPBaR deliver the returns to match? Item 19 lays out revenue figures that surprise for a system just franchising since 2019, while SBA loan records hint at real-world financing hurdles overcome. What separates the thriving units from the rest—growth explosions or hidden fees? Unlock to see if this IV therapy play hydrates your portfolio.
Item 7 details the initial investment from $147,125 to $415,200, covering build-out for sleek wellness centers, equipment for IV therapies, and initial inventory—your $55,000 franchise fee gets proprietary systems, training, and marketing support, but expect ongoing 7% royalties plus 2% ad fund and fixed monthly fees totaling $2,459-$3,758 (tech, SEO, medical director, etc.). Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue clocks $392,768 with median $347,841 across existing units, suggesting solid top-line potential in preventative care for 18+ clients, though profitability hinges on controlling those medical compliance costs via a hired Medical Director. For context, 45 SBA loans average $210,996, showing banks back this at accessible amounts without sky-high down payments.
System health looks robust: from 80 locations in 2023 to 109 in 2024 (+36% growth), with 65 projected new units signaling aggressive expansion since 2019. Low terminations (just 3) and 5 transfers indicate stability in this competitive wellness niche, far better than many startups. If you're eyeing services with recurring visits and minimal franchisor meddling—owners manage pros but don't practice medicine—these metrics position The DRIPBaR as a high-momentum bet, especially with disclosed revenues letting you model realistic cash flow before signing.
