History
Country Style has been in business for over 40 years. By 2001, Country Style had been forced to close a quarter of its stores due to decreasing market share in an increasingly competitive Canadian market. Since then, it has opened many new stores and currently ranks third behind Tim Hortons and Starbucks in the Canadian coffee market. Tim Hortons Inc is a Coffee -and- Doughnut Fast food restaurant chain Starbucks Corporation ( is an international Coffee and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle Washington.
In mid-1990s, the Country Style logo changed to use a font similar to Palatino instead of its former handwriting font. A logo ( Greek el λογότυπος = el-Latn logotypos is a graphical element ( Ideogram, Symbol, Emblem, Icon, Sign) Palatino is the name of a large typeface family that began as an old style Serif Typeface designed by Hermann Zapf initially released in 1948
In 2006, Country Style changed their image to a more upscale style. The new image includes a new logo, a new website, and an enhanced branded deli menu that will be phased into all stores. The logo still uses the Palatino style font and will also be phased into all stores. New stores will feature more modern design features, somewhat similar to Starbucks.

Advertising
The "Every Coffee Wins" and "Turn up a Winner" promotions offer numerous prizes, including Country Style food prizes, to be won each year. Similar to Tim Hortons' "R-R-Roll Up the R-R-Rim to Win" promotion, one plays by unrolling the rim of the coffee cup to possibly reveal a prize voucher. In April 2003, Country Style partnered with the Make a Wish Foundation as their corporate charity of choice. Since then, Country Style and its franchisees have raised in excess of a quarter of a million dollars for the foundation.
