Unclaimed Baggage Center
Gary Riggs's Company Details
We are the only store in America that buys and sells Unclaimed Baggage from airlines and we're one of Alabama's top shopping and tourist attractions, hosting nearly a million visitors each year. With thousands of items arriving in our store every day, you never know what you'll find! America's only Lost Luggage Store: In 1970 Doyle Owens headed to Washington D.C. with an idea, a borrowed pick-up truck and a $300 loan to pick up his first load of unclaimed baggage. Selling the contents on card tables in an old rented house, the venture was an instant success. Starting from that first load of unclaimed baggage, the company, run by Doyle, his wife Sue, and their two boys, grew into a thriving business that would eventually become the only lost luggage store in the United States. Today Unclaimed Baggage Center covers more than a city block. It is one of Alabama's top tourist attractions hosting over a million visitors a year from every state and over 40 foreign countries.
