What impact could targeting Ampang and Cheras have on apom’s reach?

Question

Accepted Answer

Targeting Ampang and Cheras could expand apom’s reach beyond its current Jalan Burma customer base, but the exact effect is not stated.

Apong Guan’s son plans to relocate the business to Kuala Lumpur, using their existing food truck and targeting areas including Ampang and Cheras, with an eventual plan to open a stall in a shopping mall. The information available does not quantify how many new customers this would bring or how much wider the audience would become compared with Penang’s Jalan Burma, where the apom stall has operated for about 56 years.
The relocation timing is set for August
The business change is described as a move to Kuala Lumpur “probably in August,” following the handover from the uncle to his son. The plan is tied to using the existing food truck once in Kuala Lumpur, rather than continuing solely at the Jalan Burma roadside stall in George Town.
Ampang and Cheras are named as initial target areas
The son’s stated targets include Ampang and Cheras, with the food truck expected to serve customers in those areas. However, there is no provided detail on how frequently the truck would operate there, where exactly it would be positioned, or what customer volume is expected in those neighbourhoods.
A future shopping mall stall could broaden visibility
Beyond the food truck approach, the son also plans to open a stall in a shopping mall eventually. That would likely change how customers encounter the product, but the available information does not specify which mall, when it would open, or the scale of foot traffic expected.
No direct comparison to Penang reach is provided
The current reach is described through the long-running roadside stall on Penang’s Jalan Burma, with about 56 years of operation. Yet there is no data included on the size of the existing customer base, how far customers travel for it, or how the planned Kuala Lumpur targeting would compare in reach.
