Fox Group, a leading and fast-growing retailer with over 10,000 employees globally, is proud to partner with Flying Tiger Copenhagen to bring this unique shopping experience to Canada.

Flying Tiger Copenhagen is a Danish lifestyle retail chain that began in 1995 with a single store in Copenhagen, where every item was priced at 10 Danish kroner. The name "Tiger" plays on the Danish word "tier" (pronounced tee-uh), meaning ten kroner, which phonetically resembles the English word "tiger" . Over the past three decades, the brand has expanded to over 1,000 stores across 42 countries, with its largest markets in Denmark, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. Flying Tiger Copenhagen offers a wide array of products, primarily focusing on accessories and toys, all designed to bring a sense of fun and surprise to everyday life. The store layout is intentionally maze-like, encouraging customers to embark on a "treasure hunt" experience, with at least 300 new items introduced each month
