"We are thrilled to bring this exciting contest to our customers," said Rita McParland, vice president of marketing, Country Style/Mr. SUB.

Nothing beats Country Style
Country Style is focused on fresh, healthy fare made from quality ingredients. Their signature coffee blend is made from 100 per cent Arabica beans and hasn't changed in more than 45 years. Using only carefully selected and harvested beans grown at a high altitude, each batch of the brand's signature blend is roasted in small quantities to ensure maximum freshness. At each store, coffee beans are ground on-site before brewing to capture the full-bodied aroma of the beans in every cup. Pots of Country Style coffee are freshly brewed and held for only 30 minutes, heated at precisely 185°F (80°C) to maintain flavour integrity and guaranteeing that only the freshest possible coffee is served.
Healthy breakfast options on the go
Country Style's recently updated menu now offers healthy meal choices, packed with flavour and freshness. New offerings such as the "Skinny" breakfast sandwich feature egg whites, tomatoes, lettuce and light mayo amd contain only 5 grams of fat. Country Style's breakfast sandwiches are served all day, with more than 12 options to choose from, made with real cheddar cheese, and are available grilled on marble rye, Asiago Herb, Whole Wheat or Wheat and Honey bagels, English muffins or as a wrap. Customers now have the option to make any breakfast sandwich a "Skinny" by substituting egg whites.
Additional healthy breakfast options include the delicious Mixed Berry Yogurt Parfait, made with mixed berries, fat-free yogurt, low fat granola containing only 1.5 grams of fat, All Natural Oatmeal with no added salt or preservatives, and Country Style Multigrain Muffins that are trans fat free, a great source of Omega-6 and fibre and available in Blueberry and Cranberry or Honey, Flax and Oat flavours.
