All supermarkets have to pay the same price to buy strawberries, regardless of their individual profitability.
You see this dynamic in markets fairly frequently and the profitable goods and services will be promoted more heavily. One can get philosophical about what is supply and what is demand, but middle man profitablity is a factor in those things as they're at once a customer and a seller.
TLDR supermarket profitablity definitely drives pricing as well. Just another component.
