"Opening the 500th Country Inns & Suites since the brand's inception in 1987 represents a remarkable success story for this homegrown brand," said Steve Mogck, executive vice president and chief operating officer, for Country Inns & Suites By Carlson.  "With 80 contracted properties under development, we are well positioned for strategic expansion in key target markets such as Canada, India, Mexico and the U.S. over the next five years."
