Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Whether you’re outfitting a break room at a Kohler manufacturing facility, a Johnsonville distribution center, or a retail location along Memorial Drive, FitPick® vending machines integrate seamlessly into Sheboygan’s workplace culture with fully branded options or healthier choices layered into existing stock.

Fit Pick® uses eye-catching stickers to clearly mark vending machine slots stocked with Fit Pick® approved snacks—a visual system that resonates with Sheboygan’s shift-working population at industrial sites and medical professionals at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center who grab food during long hours and value transparency in nutrition.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two nutritional frameworks. The most widely adopted adult standard is the 35-10-35 benchmark (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels aligned with The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, supporting corporate wellness initiatives throughout the Eighth Street corridor and beyond.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized nationwide, meaning companies operating across Sheboygan’s business districts—from the Riverfront District to Calumet Drive shopping areas to satellite offices in Kohler—can maintain uniform nutrition standards regardless of location.

Our mission is to deliver straightforward yet essential nutritional information at the vending machine slot, empowering Sheboygan’s working professionals and touring visitors to Lake Michigan to make informed, healthier snack decisions backed by transparent “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 Sheboygan’s manufacturing heartland and hospitality sector by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs. Sheboygan’s shift workers at Kohler facilities, Johnsonville operations, and the region’s plastics manufacturers often spend long hours on the production floor, where convenient access to nutritious snacking options directly supports employee health and productivity. 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 alternatives—especially among Sheboygan’s hardworking industrial workforce and the growing number of visitors to Blue Harbor Resort and our Lake Michigan waterfront attractions. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that respect both the wellness priorities of manufacturing teams across the South Side and Indiana Avenue business district and the expectations of health-minded tourists exploring Downtown Sheboygan and the Riverfront District. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized FitPick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that keep Sheboygan’s workforce energized and our visitor destinations aligned with modern nutrition expectations.
