Country store may refer to:
- A general store in a rural setting such as a village
- Country Store (cereal), a muesli-based breakfast cereal
Country Store is a variety of muesli manufactured by Kellogg's. It is high in fiber and available only in the European Union. It is not sold in the United States due to its higher production cost compared to processed artificial cereals such as Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks (using artificial flavors and colors would increase profits for Kellogg's but is illegal in Europe so the company sells natural cereals there). Country Store was introduced into the United Kingdom and Ireland around 1974 with a TV advert voiced by Michael Jayston.
