Jim DonnellyFounder

United States - Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area

Making wellness affordable and accessible to everyone has become my life mission and is the driving mindset behind everything we are doing at Restore Hyper Wellness (Restore).

Too often, we think about our wellness retroactively, after something has gone wrong that we need to fix. What we are doing at Restore is providing a resource for people to start on a proactive journey towards wellness so that they can feel better for longer in life and be able to Do More of what they love.

Restore is a company born both of my own personal needs, and those of my partner, Steve Welch, and an overall realization of a societal need for welcoming, friendly, accessible, and convenient access to science-backed services geared towards pain management, enhancing immunity, injury recovery, and overall Healthspan longevity.

In just 5 years, Restore has been able to grow from one Austin location to over 100 locations spanning 28 states, and there are many more on the way.

I am also honored that Restore continues to be recognized with national awards for the work we are doing. These awards include:

● #27 Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Texas
● #17 Fortune Magazine Top Workplaces in Health Care & Biopharma
● #32 Great Places to Work - Best Workplaces in Texas
● #91 Entrepreneur Franchise 500
● #1 in Category - Miscellaneous Personal-Care Businesses
● Best in Business, Inc. Magazine
● #1 Inc. Magazine Hottest Franchise Businesses in America


Prior to Restore, Jim co-founded IgoUgo.com, winner of a Webby Award as the top travel website in the U.S. In under five years, IgoUgo became the leader in user generated content for travel websites and was sold to Sabre Holdings / Travelocity.

With a focus in the luxury retail market, Jim has developed luxury condos (for homeowners including Michael Jordan, Cam Newton and Chris Daughtry), as well as salons, spas and high-end health clubs including the Charlotte Athletic Club. The accumulation of these experiences informed the creation of Restore.
