Flying Tiger Opens First Canadian Store at Toronto Eaton Centre

Its low-price, trend-driven products sold through a Fox Group franchise may intensify competition in Canada’s discount and home-goods market.

Overview

  • The Danish chain opened its inaugural Canadian location on Friday, June 26, 2026, at the Toronto Eaton Centre, marking Canada as Flying Tiger’s 45th market.
  • Flying Tiger and its CEO say at least four more Canadian stores will open before the end of the year with broader expansion planned thereafter.
  • The retailer stocks about 1,800 in-house designed SKUs with roughly 80% priced under $10 and introduces about 300 new, often limited-run, items each month.
  • Fox Group is the Canadian franchise partner and has converted former Fox Home retail spaces to support the brand’s rollout and lease activity.
  • Retail analysts say Flying Tiger’s curated, colourful Scandinavian format positions it as an aspirational alternative to Dollarama and increases rivalry with Miniso, Daiso and Muji while raising the risk of greater category overcrowding.
