Coop Forum is a Swedish hypermarket (combined supermarket and department store) chain. The brand is owned by Coop Butiker och Stormarknader AB, who also run most of the stores. Some stores are run by regional co-operative societies through an agreement with Coop.
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. Coop Bygg is a small DIY store.

Famous quotes containing the word forum:
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
