Country Style is a Canadian quick serve coffee and bakery cafe brand whose first shop opened in Toronto in 1963 around freshly brewed coffee and doughnuts, later expanding into breakfast plates and deli lunch offerings while keeping an in-house ground coffee ritual. Headquarters for the brand sits at 8210 Transcanada Rd in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, within the MTY Food Group system. Country Style is the concept, and the company operates as its franchisor with nearly all locations franchised to local owner-operators. MTY Food Group is its parent company. They acquired Country Style in 2009, folding the long-running Canadian coffee chain into its multi-brand franchise portfolio. Locations operate across Canadian provinces including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan, with a Canada-focused footprint and no U.S. presence. Restaurants are quick serve and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner across coffee and tea, deli and sandwich menus. Typical units seat about 10 guests in roughly 500 square feet.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
