The iconic Scranton sign made famous in the opening credits of The Office and filmed by John Krasinski, now proudly resides on the second floor of The Marketplace at Steamtown (formerly The Steamtown Mall). While the original sign was once located along the Central Scranton Expressway—now the Biden Expressway—it was removed to prevent traffic disruptions caused by fans stopping for photos. The sign on display is a replica, offering a perfect photo op for Office enthusiasts without the traffic hazards! Find out more info about the Scranton Welcomes You Sign!

The Marketplace at Steamtown (formerly the Steamtown Mall) holds a special place in the hearts of The Office fans, as it’s referenced in several iconic episodes. Perhaps the most memorable mention is in Women’s Appreciation (Season 3, Episode 22), when Michael takes the women of Dunder Mifflin on a trip to the mall after an uncomfortable office incident.
Fans can relive these moments by visiting the actual locations featured in the show, grabbing a Stanley-approved pretzel at Auntie Anne’s, or hunting for a Phyllis and Pam-inspired outfit at Boscov’s — just like the characters would! In true Kelly Kapoor fashion, don’t forget her enthusiastic plea: "Can we stop at Auntie Anne’s? I want a pretzel."

The song, sometimes referred to as "Straight Outta Scranton" by fans, also references the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, the Anthracite Heritage Museum, and Montage Mountain.

Visiting the Electric City sign is like stepping into an episode of The Office, bringing you closer to the quirky humor of Dunder Mifflin's fictional world.
"Yo Mike, our town is dope and pretty, so check out how we live in the Electric City!" —Dwight Schrute
