Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re placing vending machines across UT Health Tyler’s multiple campuses, retail locations along Broadway Square, or distribution centers in the Loop 323 commercial corridor, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a feature particularly valuable in Tyler’s healthcare-heavy workforce where medical professionals and support staff demand transparent nutritional information during their demanding shift rotations. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards.

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 offices in Tyler’s diverse business sectors—from oil and gas service companies to manufacturing facilities along Troup Highway and hospitality venues near the Caldwell Zoo—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Tyler’s workforce and visitors from surrounding rural East Texas counties to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes that Tyler’s diverse workforce—from healthcare professionals at UT Health East Texas pulling extended shifts to retail staff across Broadway Square District and The Village at Cumberland Park—depends on convenient, nutritious meal alternatives throughout the workday.
VendVue understands that for many of these employees, vending machine snacks often serve as quick meals between patient care, customer service rotations, or distribution logistics operations.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Tyler by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the specific needs of East Texas’s regional business community. 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 among Tyler’s health-conscious organizations and the visitors drawn to our city for the Rose Festival and medical appointments. This shift towards wellness has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that align with the values of Tyler’s growing corporate campuses and hospitality venues along Loop 323 and the West Erwin Street corridor. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that reflect the nutritional priorities of our hardworking community.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Tyler’s healthcare professionals at UT Health East Texas and retail workers across Broadway Square District and The Village at Cumberland Park often work extended shifts that demand consistent energy throughout the day—refuel with snacks several times to stay sharp and productive.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Whether you’re clocking hours in manufacturing, distribution logistics, or oil and gas services, reach for cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber to sustain your energy through long workdays.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Beat the mid-shift slump that hits service industry and hospitality workers across Downtown Tyler with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips that won’t weigh you down.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: When visiting Tyler’s commercial corridors along West Erwin Street, Loop 323, or Rice Road, grab pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads from a healthy vending machine for convenient nutrition between appointments or shifts.
  5. Protein and Calcium: College students from Tyler’s higher education institutions and busy professionals at regional medical facilities benefit from quick access to low-fat milk or yogurt for a sustained healthy boost.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Living in a city known for the annual Tyler Rose Festival and welcoming visitors from surrounding rural East Texas counties means enjoying sweet treats in moderation without guilt.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that travel well for workers commuting through areas like South Tyler, Old Omen, and Troup Highway—pair them with low-fat milk for added protein.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Tyler’s workforce, including oil field professionals and logistics staff who prefer portable, no-prep nutrition, appreciates a pack of peanuts, almonds, or mixed nuts for reliable protein and fiber.
  9. Stay Hydrated: In Texas heat, thirst is easily confused with hunger—keep water readily available, especially for workers in outdoor roles or those visiting attractions like the Tyler Rose Garden and Caldwell Zoo.
  10. Balanced Snacking: For Tyler’s diverse workforce spanning healthcare, hospitality, agriculture, and industrial sectors, remember that variety, balance, and moderation are essential to smart snacking.
