Two Gloucester entrepreneurial women have brought new ideas to the town. Ra’chel Cuba and Lorraine Walsh are operating two businesses at the same location at Gloucester Court House, Ra’chel’s Juices and Smoothies and Good Life Kitchen.

Their ventures were made possible through the Virginia Community Business Launch which brought new businesses to Main Street in Gloucester in 2015.
