Momma G’s Soup

For Gaila Lusby, food has always been about family and love. Inspired by her mother’s famous African Peanut Soup, she turned tradition into a thriving business: Momma G’s Soup in Troutdale. Known for artisan soups, hearty sandwiches, gluten-free baked goods, and allergy-conscious offerings, Momma G’s is as much about community as it is about comfort food.

But like all businesses, running and growing a restaurant presents its own challenges. And when those challenges arose, Gaila turned to the Mt. Hood SBDC for business planning, financial guidance, and tools to grow. 

With their support, she streamlined operations, expanded her menu, and prepared for long-term success, all while creating a workplace culture where employees feel valued.
