Simplifying Healthy Choices

As one of the prominent Wilson, North Carolina Vending Companies, we understand the unique nutritional needs of our community’s diverse workforce—from healthcare professionals at Wilson Medical Center working long shifts to manufacturing and agricultural employees fueling demanding workdays. Our healthy vending program delivers fresh, nutritious snacking options specifically designed for the active, health-conscious workers and visitors who drive Wilson’s economy, with machines stocked exclusively with 100% healthy and organic snacks. FitPick® is a distinguished vending and self-pay market program designed to assist employers and consumers in selecting products that adhere to established nutrition standards, and it’s particularly valuable for Wilson’s major employers seeking to support employee wellness across our healthcare, manufacturing, and distribution sectors. Its straightforward guidelines provide clear criteria for calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, making it an ideal choice for both employers and consumers throughout Wilson’s business districts.

Our membership in NAMA, the leading professional organization for vending companies, enables us to provide our customers with the nationally acclaimed “Fit Pick” healthy vending machine program, strategically placing these units in high-traffic areas like the Ward Boulevard corridor, downtown’s revitalized arts and dining district near Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park, and near Barton College and Wilson Community College campuses where students and staff seek convenient, nutritious options. This initiative showcases a selection of snacks, beverages, and foods that conform to rigorous standards on calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, helping customers make healthier choices whether they’re grabbing a quick bite between shifts at our region’s food processing facilities or enjoying the downtown restaurant and entertainment scene.

Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re outfitting a fully branded vending machine or adding healthier options to an existing unit serving Wilson’s healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, and downtown dining establishments, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a particularly valuable feature for Wilson’s shift workers in healthcare and food processing who need quick, nutritious options during their breaks. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines that resonate with Wilson’s health-conscious workforce and the professionals passing through the Nash Street commercial district and Ward Boulevard corridor. 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 offices in different locations throughout Wilson—from Barton College to Wilson Medical Center to distribution facilities along the US-301 South corridor—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering consumers in Wilson’s retail, agricultural services, and education sectors 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 Wilson by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the specific needs of Wilson’s diverse workforce. Healthcare professionals at Wilson Medical Center, manufacturing staff working extended shifts in our regional industrial corridors, agricultural employees, and the college communities at Barton College and Wilson Community College increasingly recognize that workplace nutrition directly impacts their productivity and well-being. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, there’s a rising demand for healthier options that resonate with Wilson’s health-conscious workers and the professionals who frequent our downtown dining and entertainment district. This shift towards wellness consciousness among both consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically designed for Wilson’s employment landscape. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout the Ward Boulevard corridor, Nash Street commercial district, and across Wilson’s major employment centers through the personalized FitPick® 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: Wilson’s healthcare workers, manufacturing staff, and agricultural employees often work demanding shifts that require sustained energy throughout the day—refuel your body with snacks several times to stay energized and content.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness, especially important for Wilson’s shift workers in food processing and distribution logistics who need steady nutrition between breaks.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips—convenient choices for employees working across the Ward Boulevard corridor and Nash Street commercial district.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste, available from healthy vending machines located near Wilson Medical Center, Barton College, and throughout downtown offices and retail trade establishments.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt—essential options for college students at Wilson Community College and Wilson’s young workforce seeking quick nutrition between classes and work obligations.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, balancing indulgence with wellness as you navigate your busy Wilson workday.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options perfect for quick breaks in Wilson’s manufacturing and agricultural 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, ideal for professionals throughout Westwood, Forest Hills, and the revitalized downtown arts district near Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand—especially important in Wilson’s warm climate and for workers spending time outdoors in agricultural and manufacturing environments.
