Etymology Edit

The name derives from the generic portmanteau term "kopi tiam" kopi means coffee in Malay, and tiam is the Hokkien word for shop. [6]

History Edit

On 21 September 2018, it was announced that NTUC Enterprise would acquire Kopitiam by the end of 2018.[4] The acquisition was approved by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore on 20 December 2018.[7]

In November 2019, NTUC FairPrice, NTUC Foodfare, Kopitiam, and Link joined forces under the FairPrice Group to collectively serve the people of Singapore under the philosophy of "Everything Food Made Easy." As part of this partnership, Kopitiam and NTUC Foodfare were merged to form a single Food Services business unit. The aim of this unit is to provide nourishing meals through various formats, such as food courts in malls, coffee shops, hawker centres, quick-service cafes, and kiosks. [8]
