I remember the name Blowers but can't think where it was... Veevers in Peel Street was definitely up market - and I remember when Jaffa Juice first came out - didn't taste much different from clinic orange juice!
My mum went to a small grocers run by a nice man called Joinson on Whalley Road in the block before the Hope & Anchor pub. There was a long counter with chairs to sit at and mum used to write her order in a notebook for delivery at home.

Sue there is a blog out there just for you.
Was it Roland Joinson?
Blowers was the first shop after the Arcade as you walked up Church St.
I loved the Gold Dish brand of Jaffa juice....My gran used to buy it, they were a bit more affluent than us.........I
liked clinic orange juice.
I know when I first tasted the Jaffa juice I told my gran it tasted just like orange juice........I was only little and didn't know what a jaffa was.
