"gehen in + Akk." generally denotes "entering", while "gehen zu + Dativ" denotes "walking towards something"
Technically speaking, the first sentence denotes that you are "approaching the supermarket in a walking fashion", while the latter denotes that you "enter the supermarket".
THis is only a technicality though, both sentences would be understood as "going to the supermarket in order to buy something" without any further context. This obviously includes both actions of "approaching" and "entering", so whichever you use is fine.

Der Unterschied ist minimal. Wenn Du zum Supermarkt gehst, befindest Du Dich auf dem Weg dorthin, ohne ihn notwendigerweise zu betreten. Wenn Du in den Supermarkt gehst, betrittst Du das GebÀude, bzw. gehst dorthin in der Absicht, ihn zu betreten-

Beide SĂ€tze sind richtig, man benutzt sie bei unterschiedlichen Entfernungen.
Wenn du zu Hause bist und Einkaufen gehen willst und es jemanden sagst, sagst du : "Ich gehe (jetzt) zum Supermarkt (oder Einkaufen)."
Wenn du vor oder in der NĂ€he eines Supermarktes stehst, sagst du :"Ich gehe (jetzt) in den Supermarkt."
