Evaluating Monopoly Claims for a Local Business
You are an antitrust regulator tasked with investigating a complaint against 'The Daily Grind,' a coffee shop in a small town. The complaint alleges that The Daily Grind holds a monopoly. Your investigation reveals that while it is the only shop in town selling a specific type of single-origin, cold-brewed coffee, there are five other cafes selling various hot coffees, teas, and other beverages. Analyze the claim against 'The Daily Grind' by explaining how two different definitions of the 'relevant market' would lead to different conclusions about its monopoly power.
