Flying Tiger Copenhagen
Flying Tiger Copenhagen traces its roots back to a stall at a flea market in Denmark where founder Lennart Lajboschitz sold umbrellas with his wife Suz. Then, in 1988, Lennart and Suz opened their first brick-and-mortar store in a local neighbourhood of Copenhagen.
Its name was Zebra, and it sold umbrellas and sunglasses and socks and surplus goods. The first store called Tiger opened in Copenhagen in 1995, and everything in it cost 10 Danish kroner. The Danish word for a ten-kroner coin is pronounced tee’-yuh, which sounds just like the Danish word for tiger.
Now, more than 30 years after the opening of our first store, we are a variety retail concept with 842 stores across 27 countries. In 2022, we achieved a revenue of DKK 4,752m and we have more than 7,000 fantastic employees. On top of these numbers and achievements comes the newly launched franchise business.
