Bringing You Lost Treasures From Around The World For
37 Years.
Unclaimed Baggage is
a one-of-a-kind store snuggled in the foothills of the
Appalachian
Mountains and bordered by the 70,000 acre Lake Guntersville.
Founded in 1970 by Doyle and Sue Owens as a part-time
business, it soon became a full-time venture. In 1978,
the Owens incorporated the company and watched it prosper
as one of the great 'hidden' bargain centers for savvy
shoppers.
In 1995, Bryan Owens, son
of the founder, acquired Unclaimed Baggage and directed
the expansion which includes the current contemporary
retail store that covers more than a city block. The
store has many amenities including a Concierge Desk
to help guests and Cups Espresso
Café - serving Starbucks Coffee and Dippin Dots.
Over one million items pass
through the store annually. About 60% of the merchandise
is clothing with the balance of the store dedicated
to cameras, electronics, sporting goods, jewelry, designer
optical, books and of course, luggage. The vast majority
of items are from unclaimed baggage which, after at
least 90 days of intensive tracking by the airlines,
are declared unclaimed. However, unclaimed
cargo is also available throughout the
store.
"Many of our guests come
again and again," according to Bryan Owens. "But whether
people are visiting for the first time or are among
the 'regulars' who drop by frequently, everyone enjoys
the sense of adventure in seeing what treasures they
can find among the lost items on display in the store."
