A monopoly happens when one business has no competitors. Imagine if McDonald's was the only fast food restaurant in the city. Of course, that would mean they would be able to raise their prices there for no reason besides the fact that they're able to. No opponents. The customers would either be forced to go to another city to buy burgers, or stay there and eat. Obviously, the government has passed laws against raising your prices without a just cause, so don't try it.
