When the mainland gets stuck: How secure is Mallorca's supply?

Answer

Could supermarkets in Mallorca run out of essentials after bad weather on the mainland?

That is possible for some products if weather closes key roads or slows freight movement for several days. Large supermarket chains usually have some buffer stock, but many stores work with low inventories and rely on regular deliveries. The most likely effects are temporary gaps in fresh goods and slower restocking, rather than a complete emptying of shelves.
