This document compares two kopitiams - Chong Kok Kopitiam established in 1940 in Klang, Selangor and Tous Les Jours opened in 2013 in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. Key differences analyzed include the number of competitors each faces, barriers to entry, nature of their products, and pricing power. Recommendations are provided to help each business address obstacles.
