As one of the prominent Knoxville, Tennessee Vending Companies, we recognize the unique health and wellness priorities of our community—from the thousands of University of Tennessee students navigating busy academic schedules to healthcare professionals at Covenant Health and UT Medical Center seeking nutritious break-room options, to the shift workers and researchers commuting from Oak Ridge National Laboratory who need better-for-you snacking solutions throughout their day. Our healthy vending program delivers fresh, nutritious snacking options strategically placed across Knoxville’s busiest employment centers and educational campuses, with machines stocked exclusively with 100% healthy and organic snacks. 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 fit for Knoxville’s health-conscious workforce and the thousands of visitors attending UT football games and events at World’s Fair Park who demand better snacking choices. Its straightforward guidelines provide clear criteria for calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, making it an ideal choice for both employers and consumers.
Our membership in NAMA, the leading professional organization for vending companies, enables us to provide our customers across Knoxville’s thriving Market Square district, the Old City entertainment venues, and West Knoxville’s corporate parks with the nationally acclaimed “Fit Pick” healthy vending machine program. This initiative showcases a selection of snacks, beverages, and foods that conform to rigorous standards on calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, helping customers in our growing advanced manufacturing and tourism sectors make healthier choices while supporting workplace wellness initiatives throughout the Greater Knoxville region.
Whether opting for a fully branded machine or incorporating healthier options into existing ones, FitPick® stands out effortlessly in Knoxville’s fast-paced business environment.
Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, helping healthcare professionals at Covenant Health and University of Tennessee Medical Center make nutritious choices during demanding shifts. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that resonate with Knoxville’s health-conscious workforce and visiting tourists attending events at Neyland Stadium and World’s Fair Park.
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 alignment with nutrition standards valued by the University of Tennessee’s 28,000+ student population and campus employers.
Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices throughout Knoxville—from downtown corporate centers to West Knoxville’s Turkey Creek commercial district and Farragut’s business parks—to implement the same program seamlessly.
Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Knoxville’s diverse workforce—including UT students, healthcare workers, tourism professionals, and Oak Ridge commuters—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.
