Where does Griffin's brother, Dave, suggest he work at with him in the movie "Zookeeper"?

The story behind the answer

In Zookeeper, Griffin’s brother Dave suggests that Griffin work with him at the car dealership.

Dave presents the dealership job as a way for Griffin to move into a more fashionable and potentially better-paid career. Griffin is the head zookeeper at Franklin Park Zoo, but his former girlfriend Stephanie believes his work makes him less attractive as a long-term partner. Dave argues that a job selling luxury vehicles could help Griffin win her back.

The dealership is portrayed as a luxury business selling high-end vehicles, contrasting sharply with Griffin’s hands-on work caring for animals. Griffin seriously considers leaving the zoo, which becomes the central emotional conflict of the film: should he change his life to impress Stephanie, or remain in the job where he feels genuinely fulfilled?

Zookeeper was released in 2011 and stars Kevin James as Griffin Keyes. The comedy’s talking animals eventually encourage Griffin to pursue confidence and honesty rather than simply copying Dave’s lifestyle. Dave is played by Nat Faxon, who also co-wrote several comedy films and television projects.
