Hydrate IV Bar®, a Colorado-founded IV therapy and wellness brand, is expanding to Lakewood in late March, with a Grand Opening Celebration taking place from 12-4 p.m. on April 17th. Located at 3333 South Wadsworth Blvd., Suite C106, the spa will mark Hydrate IV Bar’s 11th location in Colorado.
The Lakewood location is owned and operated by Nicole and Kevin Poel, longtime Colorado healthcare professionals and owners of the Hydrate IV Bar spa in Westminster. Nicole has been a registered nurse since 2007, and Kevin is a board-certified pediatric clinical pharmacist with more than 17 years of experience. The couple met while working in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Over time, they became increasingly interested in how hydration and nutrient support could play a role in overall wellness beyond acute care settings.
“We are passionate about helping people understand the benefits of hydration and nutrient support for their wellness, especially in the dry climate of Colorado,” said Nicole Poel. “Many of our clients are busy professionals, parents, athletes, or frequent travelers who are simply looking for ways to feel balanced and supported.”
As parents of four, the Poels say wellness is both professional and personal. One of their favorite services, NAD+ IV therapy, is designed to support energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality. They opened the Westminster Hydrate IV Bar location in 2023, which Denver voters named Best of Mile High 2025, and view expansion into Lakewood as a natural next step.
“Hydrate IV Bar started right here in Colorado, so expanding further within our home state is especially meaningful,” said Katie Gillberg, Founder and CEO of Hydrate IV Bar and former Broncos Cheerleader. “Lakewood is a thriving, health-conscious community, and we’re thrilled to bring our wellness services to a place that truly values balance, well-being, and quality of life.
The Lakewood location will offer IV hydration therapy and vitamin injections designed to support energy, immunity, recovery, and overall well-being. These services are increasingly embraced as part of everyday wellness routines, aligning with the growing demand for proactive, lifestyle-driven health solutions.
Hydrate IV Bar continues to grow nationwide, with franchise locations available in 47 states.
Active locations include Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and Utah, with additional locations planned in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
