Do you use definite articles with store names in spanish

For instance, would "I like Macy's" be "Me gusta Macy's" or "Me gusta la Macy's?"?

It depends on if the name has an article (Ej: El Corte Inglés) or if there is any regional reason. For example, in Spain, we use articles with football/soccer teams (El F.C Barcelona); but argentinian people don't.

On the other hand, remember "me gusta" always requires an article behind because "the liked one" is the subject of the sentence.

A pleasure.
