In Wichita’s bustling manufacturing districts and growing retail corridors, healthy vending machines equipped with FitPick® branding offer a straightforward way to support employee wellness across the aerospace and industrial workforce that drives the city’s economy.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making it easy for shift workers at Spirit AeroSystems, healthcare professionals, and college students across WSU’s campus to identify better-for-you options at a glance. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards, ensuring that busy Wichita employees and visitors to the city’s entertainment venues understand exactly what they’re choosing.

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, supporting workplace wellness initiatives across Wichita’s diverse employment sectors from logistics operations to Koch Industries facilities.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices throughout Old Town, the Downtown district, Bradley Fair, and West Wichita to implement the same program seamlessly, regardless of their location or industry type.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Wichita’s diverse workforce—from manufacturing employees to service industry workers—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Extensive Variety of Healthy Snack Options.

FitPick® transforms healthy snacking in Wichita’s bustling manufacturing and corporate sectors by clearly identifying “better for you” options, with nearly 700 tasty FitPick® approved products designed for the city’s diverse workforce. From Spirit AeroSystems production floors to Koch Industries offices, from Wichita State University’s College Hill campus to the hospitality venues around Old Town and Downtown, this program effortlessly guides customers in choosing healthier items from vending machines, removing any guesswork and streamlining the selection and purchase process for shift workers, students, and professionals alike.

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 Wichita by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly among the city’s diverse workforce of manufacturing professionals, aerospace technicians, and service industry workers. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, Wichita’s shift workers and blue-collar employees at facilities like Spirit AeroSystems and throughout our industrial corridors face unique nutrition challenges during demanding schedules. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that work for Wichita’s dynamic sectors, from the College Hill academic community to the growing retail and entertainment zones in Old Town and Downtown. 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 real dietary needs of Wichita’s hardworking population.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Wichita’s manufacturing workforce, including the dedicated teams at Spirit AeroSystems and other industrial facilities, benefits from refueling with snacks several times a day to maintain energy and focus through long shifts.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Whether you’re working in aerospace production, healthcare administration, or agribusiness management across West Wichita and the Maize Road corridor, reach for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber to sustain you between meals and extend your sense of fullness.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Combat the mid-afternoon slump common to shift workers and office professionals downtown with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Students at Wichita State University, professionals in the College Hill and Bradley Fair districts, and service industry workers throughout Old Town and Delano District all deserve convenient access to pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads that deliver high nutritional value without compromising taste or convenience.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost during your workday or entertainment outing, grab low-fat milk or yogurt from nearby vending machines.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation, especially around Intrust Bank Arena and the entertainment venues where concertgoers and sports fans seek quick refreshment.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options available in healthy vending machines throughout Wichita’s business districts, office parks, and logistics hubs—pair them with low-fat milk for added protein.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts from convenient vending machines to get a blend of protein and fiber that works for the diverse Wichita workforce.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, especially during intense manufacturing shifts or long days at the WSU Innovation Campus, so keep water close at hand.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking whether you’re based in East Wichita, near Andover Road, or anywhere across our dynamic city.
