Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines across UPS Worldport’s sprawling distribution hub, a Norton Healthcare facility, or one of Louisville’s bustling hospitality venues along Fourth Street Live, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making it instantly recognizable to Louisville’s shift-dependent workforce in logistics and healthcare who need quick, nutritious options between long hours. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that matter most to wellness-conscious employees and hospitality workers.

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, meaning your Bardstown Road location, your Westport Village retail space, and your St. Matthews office can all run the same program seamlessly, building employee trust in your commitment to wellness.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Louisville’s diverse workforce—from manufacturing and bourbon production to professional services and higher education—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Louisville by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs. Louisville’s dynamic workforce—from shift workers at the UPS Worldport hub and healthcare professionals at Humana and Norton Healthcare to the independent retailers and hospitality teams throughout NuLu and the Bardstown Road corridor—demands nutrition-conscious break solutions that align with active, health-forward lifestyles. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, Louisville’s growing wellness culture among both employers and employees has sparked a rising demand for healthier options. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically designed for the distinctive needs of Louisville’s diverse business community. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout neighborhoods like St. Matthews, Westport Village, and the Shelbyville Road corridor through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Louisville’s fast-paced workforce—from UPS Worldport logistics teams to Norton Healthcare shift workers throughout the city—needs consistent energy throughout their day. Refuel your body with snacks several times a shift to stay energized and sharp on the job.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Whether you’re working a long shift at one of our major healthcare systems or managing inventory in the Shelbyville Road distribution corridor, opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness.
  3. Healthy Crunch: The bourbon and food manufacturing sectors that define Louisville’s economy demand workers who stay alert and focused. Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Popular neighborhoods like NuLu and the Highlands feature independent retailers and busy hospitality venues where convenience matters—choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads from vending machines for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Louisville’s healthcare workforce and automotive manufacturing employees benefit from sustained energy. For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: During seasonal events like the Kentucky Derby or college athletics season when foot traffic peaks around Fourth Street Live and downtown venues, enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that appeal to the diverse workforce across Louisville’s hospitality and service sectors. Pair them with low-fat milk for added protein.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber—perfect for professionals in St. Matthews’ office parks or warehouse workers throughout the logistics hubs.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Louisville’s warm months mean workers in outdoor roles and bustling restaurant districts need consistent hydration. Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking—especially when healthy vending machines in your workplace or neighborhood make nutritious options truly accessible.
