Whether you’re equipping a quarry office break room, a manufacturing facility on Bedford’s West Side, or a retail location drawing from the broader Lawrence County workforce, FitPick® makes it simple to offer healthier vending machine options that resonate with your employees and customers.

Fit Pick® uses distinctive stickers and clings to mark vending machine slots containing Fit Pick® approved snacks, making it easy for shift workers at local limestone processing plants and service industry employees to quickly identify nutritious choices during their breaks.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, so whether your business operates in Downtown Bedford, Oolitic, or Stonehead, or you manage multiple locations throughout Lawrence County and beyond, your vending machines maintain the same reliable program.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Bedford’s workforce—from quarry workers to healthcare professionals to retail employees—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes that Bedford’s hardworking quarry workers, manufacturers, and service employees need nutritious fuel throughout their shifts,
understanding that workplace snacks often become the difference between sustained energy and an afternoon slump.

VendVue is transforming how Bedford businesses—from the bustling Downtown district to the industrial West Side operations—approach employee nutrition and wellness. While conventional vending machines stock the standard mix of candy, chips, and sugary drinks that dominate traditional break rooms, our community’s emphasis on health and productivity has sparked demand for something better. This growing wellness consciousness among Bedford’s workforce and their employers has motivated us to pioneer the personalized FitPick® program, delivering healthy vending machine options that align with what Lawrence County’s blue-collar professionals and their families actually need.
