You should find something interesting in a gift shop

Is in a correct preposition here?

"a gift shop" means that I only suggest a type of shop sb should go to, not a specific place in my city
"the gift shop" means that I think of a specific shop in my city, let's say in Baker Street


You should find something interesting in Gift Shop.

Gift Shop
--> It's a proper name so I can use capital letters and I don't use articles.
