Simplifying Healthy Choices

As one of the prominent Fargo, North Dakota Vending Companies, we recognize our role in supporting the health and wellness priorities of our region’s diverse workforce—from the healthcare professionals at Sanford Health and Essentia Health to the students and faculty across NDSU and Concordia College campuses. Our healthy vending program offers fresh, nutritious snacking options, with machines stocked exclusively with 100% healthy and organic snacks that cater to the active, health-conscious individuals driving Fargo’s growth as a regional hub. 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 especially valuable for Fargo’s expanding medical centers, tech companies, and educational institutions where employee wellness directly impacts productivity. Its straightforward guidelines provide clear criteria for calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, making it an ideal choice for both employers and consumers throughout the West Acres Commercial District, downtown entertainment venues, and the 45th Street South Retail Area.

Our membership in NAMA, the leading professional organization for vending companies, enables us to provide our customers with the nationally acclaimed “Fit Pick” healthy vending machine program, ensuring that workers during extended shifts in Fargo’s healthcare sector, students fueling late-night study sessions, and professionals in the NP Avenue Business District have access to snacks that support their wellness goals. 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 even during the intense winter months when indoor activity and workplace time increase across our growing city.

Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re stocking a fully branded machine across Fargo’s bustling West Acres Commercial District or integrating healthier options into existing vending machines throughout downtown and the university corridor, 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 Fargo’s health-conscious workforce spanning Sanford Health’s medical professionals, NDSU students and staff, and the growing tech sector along South University Drive. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that resonate with Fargo’s young professional demographic and college-age population seeking smarter snacking options between classes, shifts, and workdays.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to modern workplace wellness priorities. 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—standards increasingly valued by Fargo’s major employers and educational institutions seeking to support employee and student wellbeing.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, meaning your offices across the North Dakota State University campus, the 13th Avenue South Corridor, and Veterans Boulevard can implement the same program seamlessly, creating brand consistency and consumer confidence regardless of location.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale throughout Fargo’s high-traffic venues—from healthcare facilities and corporate offices to entertainment zones around the Fargodome and downtown hospitality venues—empowering consumers to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

With nearly 700 FitPick® approved products, this program removes guesswork from vending machine selections, making it effortless for busy Fargans to choose nutritious options during their workday or between classes. Whether you’re stocking machines in university residence halls, medical facilities, or high-traffic retail venues across the 13th Avenue South Corridor, FitPick® streamlines the entire selection and purchase process while meeting the wellness expectations of Fargo’s health-conscious population.

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 Fargo by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly among the region’s thriving healthcare workforce at Sanford Health and Essentia Health, as well as the active student population at NDSU and Concordia College. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, Fargo’s rapid growth as a regional hub and health-conscious professionals demand a different approach. This shift towards wellness consciousness among consumers and organizations—especially visible in our bustling downtown entertainment district, West Acres Commercial District, and along the South University Drive corridor where young professionals and students seek nutritious grab-and-go options—has inspired us to offer tailored solutions. 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 align with Fargo’s commitment to active, health-forward living.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Fargo’s fast-paced workforce—from NDSU students cramming between classes to healthcare professionals at Sanford Health pulling long shifts—needs consistent energy throughout the day. Stock your healthy vending machines with nutrient-dense snacks that keep busy professionals and students fueled and focused.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: The college crowd and young professionals working across downtown Fargo and the West Acres Commercial District benefit most from cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber for sustained energy between meals.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Whether students are heading to evening study sessions or office workers in the NP Avenue Business District need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips satisfy cravings without the crash.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads appeal to health-conscious Fargo residents, especially those working in the growing technology and financial services sectors who prioritize nutrition and convenience during their workday.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Healthcare workers and Sanford Health staff particularly value accessible low-fat milk and yogurt options in their break rooms and clinical areas for a quick, muscle-supporting boost.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: In a city where winters drive people indoors to shopping malls like West Acres and entertainment venues, balanced treats keep snackers satisfied without guilt.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, and graham crackers work well in vending machines across Fargo’s retail corridors and office parks—pair them with low-fat milk for added protein that resonates with the city’s wellness-conscious demographic.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: NDSU students and professionals throughout the 13th Avenue South Corridor and South University Drive area appreciate convenient packs of peanuts, almonds, and mixed nuts for portable, balanced nutrition.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Especially during Fargo’s dry winters and bustling event seasons at the Fargodome, thirst often masks hunger—keep water readily available in your vending machines alongside healthy options.
  10. Balanced Snacking: For Fargo’s diverse workforce spanning healthcare, education, technology, and agribusiness sectors, variety, balance, and moderation remain the foundation of smart snacking in any environment.
