Publix and Arthur Flour are the two that come to mind immediately but IIRC several regional grocers went that way in the 90s and oughts. Hostess almost did before the Bimbo offer came through. Not sure if there's something about foods that makes it work better there.

In terms of "legacy" sourdough bakeries I think we're down to Boudin and Bordenave at this point. Edit: I should probably point out that was around when low carb diets started gaining popularity. Not a great time to be any sort of bakery really.
