Opening a Restaurant isnt easy particularly a Korean Restaurant. This is a known fact to me because i do have many friends in this business. Some of them succeeded and some of them failed in this business. Location of the restaurant does play an important element in towards the sucess and failure of the business.
Most Korean Restaurants in Malaysia is located in Hartamas and Ampang. Why there u say? because most this places are filled with the main customers- Koreans! However, this does indicate strong competition within the industry. Imagine, 5 Korean restaurants located at on the same row of shoplots! The Korean restaurants that suceeded, i believe, must have had a a competitive edge which i will eventually explore in my future posts. But the question here is whether it is adviseble for new Korean Restaurant owners to set up their business in Hartamas and Ampang knowing there is major competition within the area?
