Business Continuity in a Global Economy: Strategies for Managing Supply Chain Disruptions and Market Volatility
In today’s global economy, businesses are facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to managing supply chain disruptions and market volatility. From natural disasters to political unrest to economic downturns, there are a multitude of factors that can impact a company’s ability to operate effectively and efficiently.Business continuity planning is essential for organizations looking to mitigate the risks associated with these disruptions and ensure resilience in the face of uncertainty. By developing a comprehensive strategy for managing supply chain disruptions and market volatility, businesses can better position themselves to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.
One key aspect of business continuity planning is risk assessment. Businesses must identify and assess potential risks to their supply chain and market stability in order to develop effective strategies for managing and mitigating these risks. This can involve conducting thorough risk assessments, scenario planning, and stress testing to identify vulnerabilities and develop contingency plans.
Another important aspect of business continuity planning is building resilience into the supply chain. This can involve diversifying suppliers, developing alternative sourcing options, and implementing robust inventory management systems to ensure continuity of supply in the event of disruptions. By building redundancy and flexibility into the supply chain, businesses can better withstand unexpected shocks and disruptions.
In addition to supply chain resilience, businesses must also focus on managing market volatility. This can involve developing strategies for managing currency fluctuations, commodity price volatility, and geopolitical risks that can impact market conditions. By staying informed about market trends and developments, businesses can better anticipate and respond to changes in the business environment.
Communication is also key in managing supply chain disruptions and market volatility. Businesses must maintain open lines of communication with suppliers, customers, and other key stakeholders to ensure transparency and collaboration in times of crisis. By working together with partners and stakeholders, businesses can better coordinate response efforts and minimize the impact of disruptions on operations.
Overall, business continuity planning is essential for businesses operating in today’s global economy. By developing comprehensive strategies for managing supply chain disruptions and market volatility, businesses can better position themselves to withstand unexpected shocks and emerge stronger on the other side. By focusing on risk assessment, supply chain resilience, market volatility management, and communication, businesses can build resilience and agility into their operations, ensuring continuity and sustainability in the face of uncertainty.
Convenience chain opens second Tallahassee store
A thunderous countdown signaled the doors were about to swing open for the debut of Wawa’s second store as employees belted out a steady stream of “Welcome to Wawa” greetings.
Located at 1755 Blair Stone Road, on the corner of Miccosukee Road, the 16-pump convenience store was swarmed by residents.
Long lines wrapped the building. Eager customers sampled free coffee in tiny cups, danced to music piping through the outside speakers and waved noise-making clappers.
From young children clinging to their parents to seniors bracing themselves with walking canes, they all enjoyed being able to say they were among the first inside.
Nancy and John Opper arrived at 6:30 a.m. — an hour and half early before the store’s opening. Nancy Opper said she got hooked on Wawa while visiting a Gainesville location.

She came bearing gifts: Beaded red bracelets that said “Wawa” in white beads and black letters. Opper said she made them for some of the employees she met the day before when coming to store, unaware it hadn’t officially opened yet. Fueled by excitement, she wanted to be the first in line and offer a token of her appreciation.
“It’s so sweet,” said Patricia Garcia, a general manager-in-training who got a bracelet.
Jen Wolf, a Wawa spokesperson, gushed over the gesture and said “this is not your average gas station” for people willing to stand in line before sunrise and offer kind-hearted gifts.
“It’s so cool,” she said. “That just speaks volumes of our customers and that connection here in Tallahassee.”
Another customer, Nancy Wenhold, stood in line not knowing Friday was the grand opening. She was simply craving a pretzel and said the lively atmosphere was an unexpected bonus.
“I’m 80 years old and I’ve still got a little oomph in me,” she joked, making a quip considering she was one of the loudest and most actives ones in line. “So, I’m enjoying every stinking minute of it.”
Further back in line, Gakiera Ash was grooving and dancing with her three children who came to be among the first in the store before they headed to school.
“We live (nearby), and we had the opportunity to watch Wawa be built from the ground up,” she said. “We made it a goal to be some of the first shoppers, and so we’re so excited today.”
When asked, her 10-year-old son, Messiah Ash, didn’t hesitate to say who he was most excited to see: Wally Goose, Wawa’s friendly mascot.
Growth of Wawa and C-stores in the capital city
Wawa debuted its first Tallahassee store in November in grand fashion as residents braved long lines that stretched around the building to be among the first to go inside. The inaugural store opened at Hartsfield Road and Capital Circle Northwest.

Nancy Dulaney, director of store operations at Wawa, said the community response to the inaugural store was “unbelievable.”
“Now this second store was non-stop talk,” she said. “It’s a really, really exciting moment for us, and being in this location, this is where we did the groundbreaking. So we are ready to go, and the community is excited.”
The new Tallahassee location distributed free Wawa shirts to the first 100 customers. Other freebies included coffee and samples of Wawa’s limited-time coffee-flavored caramel cream.
Free coffee of any size will be offered now through Feb. 9. Companywide, Wawa is offering a 1-2-3 deal as part of its rewards program that includes $1 hot coffee, $2 iced coffee and $3 Monster Energy Drinks now through Feb. 16.
The Pennsylvania-based company plans to open 20 stores throughout Florida’s Panhandle, including four to six sites in Tallahassee over the next five to eight years. Each new store is slated to have about 35 employees.
Dulaney was hesitant to say which location would be the next to debut in Tallahassee but did say it would take place sometime in the near future.
The Blair Stone and Miccosukee location has 45 employees, said General Manager Devin Bloodsworth. He’s been an employee at Wawa for 15 years but this was his first time opening a store as the general manager.
“It’s been a great new experience. Coming in, we got to interview probably about 400 people,” he said. “We spent about five weeks training everybody, and we just got the right team. Everybody’s excited, everybody’s engaged and ready to go, and I’m ready to see people grow their careers with us.”
Wawa has had hit record growth as it’s slated to open 90 new stores this year.
In Tallahassee, there’s been a surge in convenience stores, also known as C-stores, in recent years:
- Cumberland Farms on North Monroe Street opened in May 2023.
- SunStop on Capital Circle Northeast opened three years ago and other locations are slated for Thomasville and Ox Bottom roads and Blair Stone Road and Apalachee Parkway.
- And on the south side, a locally owned Skyline Express opened at Orange Avenue and Springhill Road.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – An FDA recall of smoked salmon from a popular chain of retail stores was recently reclassified as a Class 1 recall, the highest risk level available.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for Kirkland Signature brand smoked salmon, sold at Costco, for possible Listeria Monocytogenes contamination in October of 2024, but the recall was recently readjusted to Class 1, the highest risk level, which the FDA defines on its website as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The recall specifically affects 111 cases of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon in twin 12 ounce packages, UPC 0 96619 25697 6, Lot 8512801270 with the best by date of 11/13/2024.
The product had not been on shelves for some time, but it is possible that some customers still have it in their freezer for later use.
Those who purchased the product should throw it away or return it to Costco for a refund.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class 1 recall for salmon sold at a popular retail chain due to potential health risks.Customers who have purchased salmon from this retail chain are advised to check the packaging for specific lot numbers and expiration dates provided by the FDA. The recall was issued after routine testing found potential contamination that could lead to serious illness if consumed.
It is important for consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for any salmon that matches the recalled products and to immediately return them to the store for a full refund.
The FDA urges anyone who has consumed the recalled salmon and is experiencing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever to seek medical attention immediately.
Stay informed and stay safe by following updates from the FDA and the retail chain regarding this salmon recall. Your health is of utmost importance.
