Beloved "The Office" Characters Spotted 20 Years Later in Struggling Newspaper Town
11 Nov
Summary
- Dunder Mifflin office in Scranton now occupied by laser eye surgery and tattoo removal clinic
- Phyllis still keeps in touch with Stanley, but Dunder Mifflin employees were asked to move to Toledo
- Toledo's local newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller, has seen better days and now relies on clickbait headlines
In 2025, a documentary crew that had been following the employees of a Scranton office back in 2005 has returned to the familiar business park, only to find that the once-bustling Dunder Mifflin office is no longer there. According to Bob Vance, of "Vance Refrigeration" fame, Dunder Mifflin was purchased by a company called Enervate in 2019, and the employees were asked to relocate to Toledo.
The cameras then shift to Toledo, where the local newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller, is facing its own challenges. Once a thriving publication with a staff of hundreds holding local officials accountable, the Toledo Truth Teller is now a shell of its former self, relying on recycled wire stories and clickbait headlines to attract readers.
Despite the changes, some familiar faces remain. Phyllis, who used to work at the Scranton Dunder Mifflin office, still keeps in touch with her former colleague, Stanley. However, the old Dunder Mifflin office is now occupied by a laser eye surgery and tattoo removal clinic, a far cry from the paper company that once called it home.
