Flying Tiger Copenhagen: the impulse buy king's plan to conquer the world

✦ Meridian Analysis

Modella Capital is implementing a new strategy to grow Flying Tiger Copenhagen globally, following its acquisition of the company from its creditors. As a financial sponsor executing a post-acquisition turnaround and expansion strategy, Modella Capital's approach involves changing the management team and expanding operations through the opening of new franchises. For lenders and deal professionals evaluating this type of transaction, the mechanics focus on operational restructuring, cash flow generation from new franchise agreements, and the stabilization of the asset after creditor ownership. As Meridian reported on 17 October 2026, Flying Tiger Copenhagen's growth plan is fueled by private equity. Several key details regarding the transaction have not been disclosed. The purchase price, valuation multiples, the specific financing package or leverage levels used by Modella Capital, and the identities of any financial or legal advisers remain unannounced. Additionally, the timeline for the management transition and the precise geographical targets for the new franchise expansion have not been detailed.
