Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines at a Kia Motors facility supporting shift workers, near LaGrange College’s bustling campus, or throughout the Hamilton Road Retail District serving both locals and Great Wolf Lodge visitors, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making nutritional choices instantly visible to manufacturing employees grabbing quick bites between shifts and college students fueling their busy schedules. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards, helping the diverse LaGrange workforce—from automotive suppliers on Ridley Avenue to healthcare professionals at WellStar West Georgia Medical Center—identify genuinely better-for-you options.

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, enabling vending machine operators across LaGrange’s commercial corridors—from Downtown and Lafayette Square to the Vernon Street Corridor and Whitesville Road commercial areas—to implement the same trusted program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering LaGrange’s shift workers, students, and visitors to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines that fit their active lifestyles.

Extensive Variety of Healthy Snack Options.

FitPick® simplifies healthy snacking by clearly identifying “better for you” options, boasting nearly 700 tasty FitPick® approved products. This program is particularly valuable for LaGrange’s diverse workforce—from Kia Motors’ shift workers clocking in across multiple hours at our dominant manufacturing facility to LaGrange College students balancing demanding academic schedules—who need quick, nutritious meal solutions during their workday. FitPick® effortlessly guides customers in choosing healthier items from vending machines, removing any guesswork and streamlining the selection and purchase process for busy professionals and students throughout neighborhoods like the Vernon Street Corridor and College Street Area.

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 LaGrange by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique needs of our community’s workforce. LaGrange’s manufacturing sector—anchored by Kia Motors’ 2,700+ shift workers and Duracell’s production operations—demands accessible nutrition solutions that support employees working round-the-clock schedules, while our college population at LaGrange College and hospitality professionals at Great Wolf Lodge seek convenient, health-conscious snacking options between shifts and service hours. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, the evolving workforce across our industrial corridors—from the Vernon Street Corridor to the New Franklin Road distribution hubs—demonstrates a rising demand for healthier alternatives that sustain productivity and wellness. This shift towards health consciousness among manufacturing employees, college students, and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically designed for LaGrange’s dynamic business landscape. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized FitPick® program, catering to the wellness requirements of LaGrange’s diverse workforce with a variety of healthy alternatives that align with their demanding schedules and health priorities.
