Project Information
Modella Capital has announced its acquisition of Flying Tiger Copenhagen (“FTC”), the Danish-headquartered variety retailer with more than 1,100 stores across more than 40 countries globally. Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1995, FTC has grown into one of Europe’s most recognised variety retail brands, offering an ever-changing assortment of design-led products at affordable prices across categories including home, lifestyle, stationery, toys and seasonal goods. The business generated revenues of over £600 million in its most recent financial year.
The transaction marks the next step in FTC’s development following a transitional period of ownership by the company’s lending banks, during which the business was stabilised and repositioned for long-term growth. With Modella Capital becoming the majority shareholder, FTC now enters a new phase focused on continued international expansion, including launches in Canada and El Salvador in June and July 2026. Modella Capital is backing the existing management team and their strategy, which includes a global store rollout targeting more than 700 new franchise stores by 2030.
