As one of the prominent Lewiston, Maine Vending Companies, we understand the importance of supporting healthier choices across our community’s diverse workforce—from Central Maine Healthcare professionals working extended shifts to Bates College students balancing demanding academics, and the hardworking teams throughout our manufacturing and retail sectors. Our healthy vending machines program delivers fresh, nutritious snacking options with machines stocked exclusively with 100% healthy and organic snacks, meeting the real dietary needs of Lewiston’s neighborhoods from Downtown and the Lisbon Street Corridor to the bustling Sabattus Street Commercial District. FitPick® is a distinguished vending and self-pay market program designed to assist employers and consumers in selecting products that adhere to established nutrition standards, making it an ideal choice for healthcare facilities, college dining programs, and the growing number of socially conscious employers across Lewiston’s revitalized business districts.
Our membership in NAMA, the leading professional organization for vending companies, enables us to provide our customers throughout Lewiston with the nationally acclaimed “Fit Pick” healthy vending machine program, a particularly valuable resource for organizations supporting our city’s immigrant communities and workforce populations that depend on convenient, nutritious grab-and-go options during their workdays. This initiative showcases a selection of snacks, beverages, and foods that conform to rigorous standards on calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, helping customers make healthier choices while we support the wellness priorities of employers across Central Maine Healthcare, educational institutions, hospitality operations, and the social services sector that define Lewiston’s economy.
Whether you’re stocking a vending machine in Central Maine Healthcare’s facilities, throughout Bates College’s campus dining areas, or in Lewiston’s bustling Lisbon Street Corridor restaurants, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.
Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a particularly valuable feature for Lewiston’s diverse workforce—from healthcare shift workers to mill district employees—who need quick, nutritious grab-and-go options throughout their workdays. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards.
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.
Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices in different locations—whether in Lewiston’s Downtown business district, the Sabattus Street Commercial District, or the East Avenue Commercial Zone—to implement the same program seamlessly.
Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Lewiston consumers and workers to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines, particularly important in a community with significant immigrant populations and varied income levels seeking accessible nutrition options.
FitPick® transforms healthy snacking across Lewiston’s diverse neighborhoods and workplaces by clearly identifying “better for you” options, with nearly 700 tasty FitPick® approved products designed to meet the needs of healthcare workers at Central Maine Healthcare, college students on the Bates campus, and the varied shift workers throughout the Lisbon Street Corridor and Sabattus Street Commercial District. This program effortlessly guides customers in choosing healthier items from vending machines, removing any guesswork and streamlining the selection and purchase process—particularly valuable for Lewiston’s immigrant communities and working families who depend on convenient, nutritious grab-and-go options between shifts and throughout the downtown revitalization areas.
The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.
VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Lewiston by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique needs of Maine’s second-largest city. The healthcare workforce at Central Maine Healthcare, college students on the Bates College Campus, and the diverse immigrant communities throughout the Lisbon Street Corridor and Downtown Lewiston increasingly demand nutritious snacking options that reflect their health-conscious values and varied dietary needs. 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 that address the wellness priorities of Lewiston’s shift-based workers in healthcare, education, and food service sectors. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions perfectly suited to Lewiston’s dynamic workforce. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout neighborhoods like the Sabattus Street Commercial District, the Main Street Business District, and the College Street area through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives.
