Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at a Beaumont petrochemical facility, port operation, or along the busy Calder Avenue corridor, FitPick® makes it simple to offer healthier snack options that appeal to shift workers and industrial employees who demand quality nutrition during their non-traditional hours.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making them instantly recognizable to the refinery workers, port staff, and service industry professionals who frequent break rooms across Beaumont’s energy sector. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that matter most to health-conscious consumers in our community.

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, ensuring that whether your vending machines serve the College Street area near Lamar University or the commercial strips along Phelan Boulevard, your patrons have access to transparent nutritional information.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices and break rooms throughout Beaumont—from refinery operations to the Beaumont Civic Center to retail locations in the Gateway Shopping area—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering the transient workforce, traveling professionals, and daily commuters who move through Beaumont to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines that fit their active lifestyles.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically suited to Beaumont’s unique economic landscape, where workers balancing demanding schedules in the energy sector and port industry increasingly seek nutritious alternatives during their shifts. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout Downtown Beaumont, the Gateway Shopping area, and industrial zones surrounding the Port of Beaumont through the personalized FitPick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that acknowledge the real-world nutrition needs of our city’s hardworking population.
