Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at a manufacturing facility along the Fluvanna Avenue Corridor, a hospitality venue near the National Comedy Center, or a break room at Jamestown Community College, FitPick® delivers healthy snack options that resonate with Jamestown’s workforce.

FitPick® uses eye-catching stickers to identify vending machine slots stocked with FitPick® approved snacks, a particularly valuable feature for the blue-collar workers and service industry employees throughout Jamestown who grab quick meals between shifts at local manufacturing plants and restaurants. More prominent clings and stickers provide detailed information about FitPick™ nutritional standards, helping both employers and workers in the downtown Brooklyn Square area and beyond understand exactly what they’re selecting.

FitPick® applies two sets of nutritional guidelines to meet diverse workplace needs. The most widely adopted adult standard is the 35-10-35 criteria (maximum 35% calories from fat, maximum 10% from saturated fat, and maximum 35% product weight from sugar), ideal for the sustained energy demands of Jamestown’s manufacturing and hospitality sectors. Additionally, FitPick® provides labels aligned with The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, supporting employers like UPMC Chautauqua WCA Hospital and educational institutions committed to wellness.

FitPick®’s standardized labeling system is recognized consistently across communities, counties, and states, allowing employers across Jamestown’s diverse neighborhoods—from the Washington Street Business District to Lake View—to implement the same transparent health program without complications.

Our mission is to deliver straightforward yet meaningful nutritional information directly at the point of purchase, enabling Jamestown’s workers and visitors to make informed, healthier snack decisions supported 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 Jamestown by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly for the manufacturing facilities, healthcare providers, and educational institutions that anchor our regional economy. 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 Jamestown’s hardworking blue-collar workforce and the growing number of visitors drawn to the National Comedy Center and regional attractions. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that work for both the shift workers at our local manufacturing plants and the students and staff at Jamestown Community College and UPMC Chautauqua WCA Hospital. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout Downtown Jamestown, the Washington Street Business District, and the Fluvanna Avenue Corridor through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that respect the active, on-the-go lifestyle of Jamestown’s diverse workforce.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Jamestown’s manufacturing and hospitality workforce demands sustained energy throughout demanding shifts, so refuel with nutritious snacks several times daily to maintain focus and stamina on the production floor or behind the bar.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Whether you’re working in the furniture production facilities along Foote Avenue or serving visitors at downtown entertainment venues near the National Comedy Center, choose cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber for sustained fullness during long workdays.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-afternoon cravings common among Jamestown’s service industry workers with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips available in vending machines across the Washington Street Business District and beyond.

  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, balancing indulgence with wellness goals.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that pair perfectly with low-fat milk for added protein during quick breaks across Jamestown’s neighborhoods and business corridors.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts from workplace or retail vending machines throughout the Fluvanna Avenue Corridor and Brooklyn Square for a blend of protein and fiber.
