That must be the store manager's decision.

Purchasing power. Wholesalers rank their accounts. Premium accounts get better prices than net accounts. The head buyer orders from the manufacturer and the store orders from the head buyer. If the store tried to order from the manufacturer the price would be higher.
For example 100,000 @ $1.00 vs 100 @ $1.50
Walmart can also afford to work off a minute profit margin because of their high volume -- most stores need to mark up their items a great deal more - but Walmart can work off a 2% mark up because they sell $millions everyday
