WORCESTER, MA — It'll be a good fit for a business that specializes in fresh squeezed juice.

The juice maker Shabby Gourmet Juices this week will seek a license from the city to open in a tiny retail space inside Union Station. The 98-square-foot was previously a café until last fall when the space became vacant.

Shabby Gourmet Juices has operated as a food truck in the area and at local farmers markets for years. The business signed a three-year lease for the Union Station spot with the Worcester Redevelopment Authority in November.

Shabby Gourmet Juices will go before the Board of License Commissioners on Thursday for a common victualler license, a key step in opening an eatery in Worcester.
