Coop Forum is a swedish hypermarket chain. The concept is owned by the Swedish arm of Coop Norden who also run most of the stores. Some stores are run by the regional co-operative societies through an agreement with Coop. Coop Norden is a joint Scandinavian co-operative retail chain. ...


The chain was created through the conversion of many B&W, Robin Hood, Prix and Obs! stores into the Coop Forum format in addition to new openings.


The largest Coop Forum stores carry a full hypermarket range including groceries, clothes, homewares and electrical. The smaller stores are more compact selling only a full range of groceries and a selection of homewares. Many Coop Forum stores also have a branch of Coop Bygg attached to the store. Coop Bygg is a small DIY store.


In October 2006 Coop announced that it would sell 2 Coop Forum stores to the Bergendahls Group in exchange for 5 AGs supermarkets in Skåne, in the south-west of Sweden. The AGs stores will be converted to the Coop Extra superstore format.

Coop Forum is the most modern market place in the Nordic region, offering a totally new shopping system, although recalling the traditional market square, with food stalls in the middle, surrounded by specialist stores.
Coop Forum was opened in the autumn at Fittja to the south of Stockholm, in a partnership between KF and its sister organization in Norway, Forbrukersamvirket (NKL).
The special feature of Coop Forum is that customer requirements and wishes are reflected in every detail of the design in a manner which has never been tested before in the Nordic region.
