Exciting Expansion of Kids Job Day
Flying Tiger Copenhagen, managed by Zebra Japan Co., Ltd., is a unique design store based in Denmark that has captured the hearts of many with its affordable and vibrant products. With a mission to ensure that 'A richer life doesn’t cost a fortune,' Flying Tiger aims to provide enriching experiences for daily life. One of its standout initiatives, the
Kids Job Day, which started in February 2017, is set to expand its reach across Japan, introducing children and parents to the excitement of a real work environment.
Beginning in July 2025, Flying Tiger will host
Kids Job Day at 60 of its stores nationwide (excluding Okinawa). This program has already seen over 2,000 children between the ages of three and six participate, offering them the chance to engage with real business tasks rather than merely selecting products off the shelves.
What is Kids Job Day?
Kids Job Day is an interactive program designed for parents and their children to experience work together. Through hands-on participation, the event educates families about the fundamental concepts of work and community. On event days, children will have the opportunity to perform various tasks such as restocking shelves and managing the checkout process.
After completing their shifts, participants will be compensated with special currency, usable as shopping tickets, allowing them to enjoy their shopping experience as a reward for their hard work.
The event is free of charge and takes place mainly on the fourth Saturday of each month from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, with some variations in scheduling depending on location.
Daily Agenda for Kids Job Day
Participants can look forward to a structured one-hour work experience:
1.
Introduction - Children will start with self-introductions, learning the basics of communication. They will even use name tags with their chosen nicknames, which aligns with the store's culture.
2.
Morning Meeting - A brief gathering will take place to outline the day's tasks and confirm roles.
3.
Store Walk - Participants will tour the store together, reinforcing community and teamwork.
4.
First Task: Stocking Shelves - Participants will learn how to organize and display products attractively, a vital skill in retail.
5.
Second Task: Checkout Experience - Children will engage with customers at the register, learning how to handle transactions and create a welcoming brand impression.
6.
Wrap-Up Meeting - At the end of the day, children will reflect on their experience, embracing the importance of review and feedback in fostering growth.

One mother remarked that the experience of registration and checkout provided her child with valuable customer interaction skills, while another praised how the event allowed her son to learn about the rewards of working hard.
