Bruce likes to write in metaphors. One of his most well known metaphors is driving a car. Bruce uses this as a metaphor for making love. For example in his song "Drive All Night" it is not about going driving all night long, it is about making love all night long. Likewise when the protagonist goes driving a stolen car in the "Stolen Car" song, it is actually a metaphor for having sex with somebody that is not your significant other. Bruce has also a song called "Pink Cadillac". The pink Cadillac is here a metaphor for something that all women have and what all normal men want, so now you understand what driving a pink Cadillac is all about.
Anyway, let's think what the song "Queen of the Supermarket" is all about. The supermarket here is a metaphor for life itself. Then the queen of the supermarket is obvious. She is the love of your life. She is the one that you have spent most of your life with. The aisles and aisles of dreams are life episodes that you look back on. This song is about your mortality and about a sentimental longing for the past. The whole album "Working on a Dream" is about this. We can all relate to this. We are all going to grow old.
