Flying Tiger Copenhagen opens its first store in Mexico
Flying Tiger Copenhagen has opened its first Mexican store at Plaza Carso in Polanco, Mexico City.
The chain plans to open four more stores during November, in shopping centres and street-front locations.
The company began in Denmark as Tiger in 1995, when it sold every item for 10 Danish kroner.
Its stores sell stationery, home décor, kitchen goods, toys, gifts and celebration supplies, with new products added throughout the year.
The company develops around 6,000 product references annually, including items for seasonal occasions such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
The range will be adjusted as the company learns what Mexican shoppers prefer.
Christmas will be an early test of the brand’s reception, as year-end sales account for about 30% of its annual revenue.
