Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether opting for a fully branded machine or incorporating healthier options into existing ones, FitPick® stands out effortlessly in Sioux Falls’ dynamic healthcare and hospitality sectors.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a feature particularly valuable for shift-based healthcare workers at Sanford Health and Avera McKennan Hospital who grab quick meals during their rounds. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that matter most to professionals managing demanding schedules across downtown, the East 10th Street corridor, and beyond.

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, ensuring options align with wellness expectations across Sioux Falls’ corporate offices and hospitality venues like those surrounding the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices in different Sioux Falls locations—from the West 41st Street commercial district to the McKennan Park area—to implement the same program seamlessly while serving the tri-state region’s visiting professionals and tourists.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Sioux Falls’ retail employees, foodservice workers, and finance sector staff to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines during their workday.

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 Sioux Falls by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs. The healthcare professionals at Sanford Health and Avera Health, along with retail and food processing workers throughout the city’s commercial corridors and industrial zones, often work extended or shift-based schedules where access to nutritious snacking becomes critical to sustained energy and performance. 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 Sioux Falls’ workforce. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations—particularly within the tri-state region’s growing hospitality sector around Falls Park and the PREMIER Center—has inspired us to offer tailored solutions. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout Downtown Sioux Falls, the East 10th Street corridor, West 41st Street commercial district, and South Minnesota Avenue by personalizing the Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives.
