Coffee shops originated in the Middle East in 1511 and were popularized in Britain. Coffee shops first arrived in Malaysia in 1933 during British colonization and are now referred to as "kopitiams." Two kopitiams were analyzed: Chong Kok Kopitiam established in 1940 in Klang, Selangor and Tous Les Jours established 3 years ago in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. While both serve coffee and light meals, they differ in location, history, products, number of employees, and annual revenue. Tous Les Jours faces higher competition and barriers to entry due to its location.
