Instead, the office has been taken over by One and Done Laser.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That revelation comes courtesy of Bob Vance, the ever-familiar Vance Refrigeration owner, played once again by Robert R. Shafer. \u201cDunder Mifflin? Yeah, they\u2019ve been gone for a while,\u201d he recalls, noting that his wife Phyllis and Stanley still keep in touch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the Scranton Chamber of Commerce records shown in the series, Dunder Mifflin was officially purchased in 2019 by a Toledo-based company called Enervate. The new parent company specializes in paper products ranging from office supplies to janitorial goods and even local newspapers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the Scranton branch may be gone, creator Greg Daniels clarified that Dunder Mifflin itself hasn\u2019t completely disappeared. Oscar Martinez, played by Oscar Nunez, now works at Enervate\u2019s Toledo offices, and boxes of Dunder Mifflin paper still appear on-screen. \u201cIt\u2019s not that it\u2019s no more,\u201d Daniels explained. \u201cIt\u2019s just part of this larger company called Enervate now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That means the brand lives on, even if its most famous office doesn\u2019t. For fans hoping the new series would bring back the full Scranton crew, Daniels made it clear that The Paper is its own story. \u201cThis show has to live or die on its own merits,\u201d he said.

Beyond Oscar and Bob Vance, there are nods to the company\u2019s past, but the series avoids becoming a full-blown reboot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/guides\/news\/2023995-dunder-mifflin-the-office-shut-down-paper\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Paper Reveals if The Office\u2019s Dunder Mifflin Company Shut Down;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Paper Reveals if The Office\u2019s Dunder Mifflin Company Shut Down<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans of The Office have long wondered what happened to the iconic Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin after the series ended in 2013.
