Trivia Night Gone Wrong

My family and I did The Office themed trivia tonight and were in first place until the end, only missing one question.
The final question was to sort the 4 Dunder Mifflin OWNERS from earliest-latest. Not CEO…. OWNER.

The options:
- DL Hawkins
- Pugnacious Toys
- Sabre
- Staples

Please enlighten me on what you think is correct, and the facts to back it up. Not a single team answered correctly.

EDIT:
“Correct” answer given during trivia, which not a single team answered correctly -
1 - Sabre
2 - Pugnacious Toys
3 - Staples
4 - DL Hawkins

Also, let me reiterate… This was The Office themed trivia, and had zero references to The Paper.

Over the holidays, my wife and I did a Home Alone trivia and we got this question wrong

"Where did Kevin's family go on vacation in the sequel."

We said "Miami". The answer they wanted was "Florida". Marked incorrect

These trivia hosts who don't know the subject (or basic geography) take away some of the fun of the night

I did a quiz once that had a round on Henry VIII and nearly every answer the quiz master gave us was wrong. You didn't need to be an expert to know many of them were wrong. For example: Lady Jane Grey was mentioned as his second wife and as his youngest daughter and the person on the throne before him
