5 December 2024

Flying Tiger Copenhagen is proud to announce the opening of its 1,000th store, marking an extraordinary journey that began in 1995.

Founded nearly three decades ago - initially as a surplus goods store - Flying Tiger Copenhagen has grown into a globally design-led variety retailer. Known for its playful and distinctive products, the brand has consistently brought Danish creativity to the everyday lives of customers across 39 markets.

Martin Jermiin, CEO of Flying Tiger Copenhagen, states: “This milestone is a moment of pride for all of us at Flying Tiger Copenhagen. As we celebrate the opening of our 1,000th store in Sydney, we reflect on the incredible journey Flying Tiger Copenhagen has taken - from a small shop in Copenhagen to becoming a global brand that has the privilege of welcoming around 100 million customers a year.”

When being asked about the reason for the brands development and diligence in a highly competitive retail market, Jermiin declares: “We have remained authentic to our origins to offer playful, affordable products, while still developing and making the necessary adjustments. We believe in making the ordinary extraordinary, offering affordable products designed with a playful, sustainable ethos. This milestone is a testament to our belief that ‘a richer life doesn’t cost a fortune,’ and we are both proud and thankful to be able to spread this message across continents and cultures.”

The millennium milestone opening on the 5th of December is particularly special as it also celebrates the brand’s market entry into Australia. It brings the Flying Tiger Copenhagen vibe Down Under, when the first store opens in New South Wales – a staggering 16,000 kilometers from where it all began in Copenhagen.

Looking ahead, Flying Tiger Copenhagen has ambitious plans for expansion involving markets as Singapore and Malaysia in 2025.
