A EUIOP registration process takes several weeks and includes possibilities for appeals. \n Zacaffe opened in Madrid after Inditex tested coffee areas in stores earlier last year, most notably in Paris and Lisbon, where it sells traditional Portuguese pastries pasteis de nata. \n The Inditex coffee shops will have an independent entrance and will be adapted to their locations, the company said when introducing the plan on its website. \n Beside Zara, Inditex owns other brands such as Bershka, Stradivarius and Massimo Dutti. \n In its home region of Galicia, It has opened a new concept store called El Apartamento with a space for a coffee shop. \n (Reporting by Inti Landauro and Corina Pons;Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.30.0","shortVersion":"4.30.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2501773764"}
