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 goods. The smaller stores are more compact selling only a full range of groceries and a selection of homewares. Many Coop Forum stores also had a branch of Coop Bygg attached. Coop Bygg was a brand of small DIY store.

As part of a restructuring, almost all Coop Forum stores have been rebranded as Stora Coop. As of February 2023 only three stores remain under the Coop Forum brand.[2]
