Manchester will soon be welcoming the arrival of Flying Tiger, a Danish bargain store famed for its quirky array of affordable products.
The bargain retailer has experienced global success since its launch in Copenhagen in 1995, and sells a wide range of products varying from stationary, children’s toys, homeware and electronics.
And now, after the success of over eighty stores across the UK, Flying Tiger has reportedly signed a five-year lease for a unit in the Manchester Arndale shopping centre.
It will be taking over a 2,493 sq ft site on the lower mall, and is expected to open at some point later this year.
