Unclaimed Baggage is a retail business that buys unclaimed luggage from airlines and resells its contents to consumers. It operates as the only store in the United States with this model, drawing shoppers and tourists to its Scottsboro, Alabama location. The company handles thousands of items arriving each day, with inventory available in-store and online. The origins trace to 1970 when Doyle Owens started with a borrowed pickup and a small loan to acquire unclaimed baggage and sell the items informally. In 2020 the business expanded its reach by launching an online shopping portal, and it remains based in Scottsboro, Alabama with a mid-sized workforce.
