The eighth season largely centers around Andy Bernard’s ascension to regional manager, as well as the antics of Robert California, the new CEO of Sabre, a fictional printer company that owns Dunder Mifflin. Halfway through the season, Dwight Schrute -along with Jim Halpert, Stanley Hudson, Ryan Howard, Erin Hannon, and Cathy -travel to Florida to help set up a Sabre Store, where Nellie Bertram is introduced.
