Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at Coastal Carolina University, placing one in Conway Medical Center, or stocking units along the Highway 501 Business Corridor, FitPick® makes it simple to offer healthier snack options that resonate with health-conscious students, healthcare professionals, and busy commuters.

Fit Pick® uses distinctive stickers and clings to highlight vending machine slots containing Fit Pick® approved snacks, making nutritional choices immediately visible to the diverse workforce moving through Conway’s downtown entertainment districts and university areas. More detailed clings provide transparent information about Fit Pick™ nutritional standards, helping tourists and residents alike understand what they’re purchasing.

Fit Pick® distinguishes between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to different audiences. The 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), which appeals to healthcare workers and wellness-focused employees throughout Conway. Fit Pick® also offers labels aligned with The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, making it an ideal fit for educational settings like the university campus and nearby institutional locations.

Fit Pick®’s uniform labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states, so whether your vending machines operate in downtown Conway’s Riverwalk area, the university zone, or along the Highway 544 Commercial District, you maintain consistent program standards and messaging.

Our objective is to deliver clear, actionable nutritional information right at the point of sale, empowering Conway’s college students, healthcare employees, seasonal visitors, and local residents to make informed snack decisions guided by straightforward, science-backed “better for you” criteria.

Nutritious Snacking for Conway's Active Campus and Downtown Communities.

FitPick® transforms healthy snacking across Conway by clearly identifying “better for you” options, with nearly 700 tasty FitPick® approved products designed to meet the preferences of Coastal Carolina University students, healthcare professionals at Conway Medical Center, and the growing workforce throughout the Highway 501 Business Corridor and Enterprise Park. This program effortlessly guides customers in choosing healthier items from vending machines, removing any guesswork and streamlining the selection and purchase process—particularly valuable in high-traffic locations where Horry County employees, university staff, and visitors navigating the Riverwalk and downtown entertainment districts need quick, nutritious alternatives to traditional snack choices.

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 Conway by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly among the university workforce at Coastal Carolina University, healthcare professionals at Conway Medical Center, and the growing roster of businesses throughout the Highway 501 Business Corridor and Enterprise Park. 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 resonates strongly with Conway’s health-conscious population of students, university employees, and wellness-focused professionals. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically suited to Conway’s unique market—from the bustling Downtown Conway Historic District to the Carolina Forest neighborhoods where families and young professionals increasingly prioritize nutritious choices. 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 serve both the residential community and the seasonal influx of health-minded visitors drawn to the Horry County area.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re a student rushing between classes at Coastal Carolina University or a healthcare worker managing long shifts at Conway Medical Center, refueling your body with snacks several times a day keeps you energized and focused.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness—especially important for the early morning and late-night study sessions common among CCU’s residential student population.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips while exploring the Highway 501 Business Corridor or Downtown Conway’s Rivertown Entertainment Complex.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste—convenient for tourists visiting from Myrtle Beach and local professionals in Enterprise Park who need quick, wholesome meals.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt to maintain sustained energy through demanding healthcare or university workdays.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options. Pair them with low-fat milk for added protein during your break near the Riverwalk or while stationed throughout Conway’s growing hospitality sector.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber—perfect for seasonal tourism employees and manufacturing workers in Horry County’s logistics and distribution hubs.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand, especially during Conway’s warm seasons when outdoor work and campus activities are most demanding.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking.
