At Country Style, we are coffee lovers. We use only 100% Arabica beans -
grown at high altitudes, that makes for a premium blend. We freshly
grind the beans on-site every time a new pot of coffee is brewed. Our
baked goods come straight out of the oven and are made with pride, the
old fashioned way. Our All-Day Breakfast Menu provides customers with a
choice of 12 breakfast sandwiches. We use only real Cheddar, never
processed cheese. For lunch, Bistro Deli offers gourmet sandwiches,
soups, wraps and made-to-order salads. Country Style simply believes in
the best - and this applies to everything - from the smiling faces
behind the counters to the quality of the products we serve. We have
combined innovation, quality, freshness and of course, value.
The estimated total investment of a "turnkey” traditional Country Style Franchise representing a typical 2,000 to 2,400 square foot full production, free-standing unit with a drive thru is approximately $325,000 to $360,000; typical 875 to 1,000 square foot limited production free-standing unit drive thru only is approximately $280,000 to $300,000; a typical 1,000 to 1,500 square foot limited production in-line unit is approximately $280,000 to $312,000; and a typical 500 to 700 square foot limited production mall unit is approximately $230,000 to $250,000. The total investment will vary, depending on the size and condition of the premises, among other factors.
