Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines throughout Long Beach’s bustling port terminals, hospitality venues, or across the East Village Arts District, FitPick® delivers a straightforward approach to nutritious snacking that resonates with the city’s diverse workforce.

FitPick® uses distinctive eye-catching stickers and clings to highlight vending machine slots containing FitPick® approved snacks, making it easy for Long Beach’s port workers, service industry staff, students, and convention visitors to identify healthier options at a glance. The system’s prominent labeling provides transparent nutritional standards right where consumers need them most—at the point of purchase.

FitPick® maintains two distinct nutritional frameworks to serve different audiences. The widely adopted adult standard follows the 35-10-35 guideline (maximum 35% calories from fat, maximum 10% from saturated fat, and maximum 35% product weight from sugar), while FitPick® also certifies products meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines—both critical for health-conscious workforces in Long Beach’s aerospace, healthcare, and education sectors.

FitPick®’s unified labeling system is standardized nationwide, allowing Long Beach businesses—from downtown office towers to Belmont Shore retail locations to Long Beach Airport hospitality zones—to implement consistent healthy vending programs across multiple sites without confusion or duplicated effort.

Our goal is delivering clear, actionable nutritional transparency at the vending machine, empowering Long Beach’s hardworking population and visiting guests to select snacks that align with “better for you” nutrition standards, not guesswork or marketing claims.

Extensive Variety of Healthy Snack Options.

FitPick® transforms healthy snacking across Long Beach’s bustling commercial landscape, where port workers, convention center visitors, and service industry employees demand quick access to nutritious options throughout their shifts. With nearly 700 FitPick® approved products clearly marked and easy to identify, our vending machines remove the guesswork from healthy choices—whether you’re stocking machines in Downtown Long Beach’s office towers, along 4th Street Retro Row’s retail corridors, or near the Port of Long Beach’s logistics facilities where shift workers need reliable nutrition between breaks. This program streamlines the selection and purchase process, ensuring your Long Beach workforce and customers can confidently grab better-for-you snacks without hesitation.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is transforming workplace vending across Long Beach by partnering with the diverse employers that define our city—from port logistics operations and aerospace manufacturers to hospitality venues along Belmont Shore and the Convention Center district. We’ve built our practice on understanding that Long Beach’s workforce of over 200,000, including port workers managing demanding shifts, service industry staff, and corporate professionals, deserves convenient access to nutrition that supports their demanding schedules. While traditional vending machines stock up to 45 products dominated by candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, the professionals and crews working across Long Beach’s bustling commercial districts—from Downtown and 4th Street Retro Row to the Alamitos Beach and Airport areas—increasingly seek genuinely healthy snacking options that fuel their day rather than drain their energy. This shift toward wellness consciousness among Long Beach’s diverse workforce and the organizations employing them has inspired us to move beyond one-size-fits-all inventory. We’re committed to collaborating with our Long Beach clients through the personalized FitPick® program, ensuring that every vending machine stocked in your workplace reflects your team’s actual wellness priorities and dietary needs.
