Increased demand leads to expansion for Fairlie businessDOUG FIELD/STUFF Benjamin Dobbs at his new shop, Blank Space, in Fairlie. "The expansion has 100 per cent been down to how busy the shop has been both online and in store," Benjamin Dobbs said. Dobbs opened his first retail store 'Blank Space' in Fairlie in 2016, and has now expanded the business, with his new, bigger version of Blank Space opening in Fairlie on Friday night. "Without our loyal customers both locally and online this expansion would not have been possible so I thank everyone who has continued to support Blank Space. While many of his friends headed off to university, Dobbs decided to leave school and start an apprenticeship at Fairlie's popular Bakehouse bakery, before opening Blank Space.
