I don't recall seeing such a thing in my usual grocery store aisles. Does anyone know a San Francisco grocery retailer that carries this bread?

It's very much like Pepperidge Farms white bread. This bread isn't like the newer "fluffy" "country-style" Oroweat breads. It's much smaller, more thinly sliced and more compact. I get it at Tower Market (Mollie Stone's) on Portola in S.F. and I sometimes see it at the larger Safeways like the one on 16th St. near Potrero and the one in Westlake.
