Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines throughout Lakewood’s thriving business districts—from the Cedarbridge Corporate Park to the Route 9 Corridor’s bustling retail and financial services offices—or retrofitting existing machines with nutritious options, VendVue’s FitPick® program delivers exceptional results.

FitPick® uses eye-catching stickers to clearly mark vending machine slots containing FitPick® approved snacks, making it simple for employees at local healthcare facilities, private schools, yeshivas, and small business offices throughout Downtown Lakewood and the Clifton Avenue business district to identify better-for-you options at a glance. More prominent clings and stickers provide detailed insights into FitPick™ nutritional standards, ensuring your workforce—whether healthcare professionals at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, education staff, or restaurant and logistics employees—understands exactly what they’re choosing.

FitPick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to diverse workplace needs. 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), addressing the preferences of Lakewood’s health-conscious, family-oriented population. Additionally, FitPick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.

FitPick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices in different Lakewood locations—whether near the Ocean County Mall, along Madison Avenue, or in the Route 70 business strip—to implement the same program seamlessly and maintain brand consistency.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale within Lakewood’s rapidly growing business environment, empowering your employees and customers to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines that reflect community wellness values.

Health & Wellness Program

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Lakewood, NJ by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique needs of this rapidly growing community. Lakewood’s explosive population expansion and concentration of small business owners—from the Route 9 Corridor’s retail establishments to the healthcare and education sectors clustered around Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus and Georgian Court University—means employees are seeking convenient, health-conscious snacking options throughout their workday. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, the health-conscious professionals and families throughout the Clifton Avenue business district and Cedarbridge Corporate Park increasingly demand better alternatives. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations across Lakewood has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that reflect the values of our community’s diverse workforce. 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 support the active, family-oriented culture that defines Lakewood’s bustling business landscape.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Throughout Lakewood’s busy business districts—from the Route 9 Corridor to Cedarbridge Corporate Park—professionals and small business owners need consistent energy to power through their workday. Refuel your body with snacks several times a day to stay energized and content.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Whether you’re working in healthcare services, education, or one of Lakewood’s many religious institutions, sustained energy matters. Opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness.
  3. Healthy Crunch: From the Clifton Avenue business district to downtown Lakewood, professionals manage demanding schedules. Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Lakewood’s rapidly growing population—including many families managing kosher dietary requirements—benefits from accessible pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Employees in Lakewood’s financial services, retail, and food service sectors depend on quick, wholesome nutrition. For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Even in a health-conscious market like Lakewood, enjoying sweet treats in moderation supports workplace satisfaction without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options paired well with low-fat milk for added protein.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Working across Lakewood’s diverse neighborhoods—Madison Avenue, Forest Avenue, or near Georgian Court University—pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking.
