Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re placing vending machines across MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, McLeod Health facilities, or the retail corridors of Magnolia Mall and Freedom Boulevard, FitPick® distinguishes itself by seamlessly blending health-conscious options with professional branding.

FitPick® uses eye-catching stickers to clearly mark vending machine slots stocked with FitPick® approved snacks—a critical feature for Florence’s healthcare workforce and visiting patients who prioritize nutritional transparency. More prominent clings and stickers deliver detailed information about FitPick™ nutritional standards, helping busy professionals at our regional medical centers and college campuses make informed choices during their shifts.

FitPick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to different audiences. The most widely adopted 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)—standards that resonate with Florence’s health-conscious demographics across medical facilities and corporate offices. Additionally, FitPick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, ensuring compliance for educational settings like Francis Marion University and Florence-Darlington Technical College.

FitPick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices throughout Florence—from downtown business districts to the Hoffmeyer Road and Second Loop Road commercial zones—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Florence’s diverse workforce—healthcare professionals, manufacturing employees, service industry workers, and students—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 Florence by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs.
