About Unclaimed Baggage As a 55-year-old family-owned company, we have a long-term and purpose-filled vision. Unclaimed Baggage is the only company in the United States that buys and sells the lost luggage of airlines that is never reunited with its owners. Our 50,000-square-foot retail store in Scottsboro, Alabama is a one-of-a-kind destination experience, complemented by a fast-growing online store, which together have created an iconic omni-channel brand that draws people in with a sense of discovery. As one of the largest tourist destinations in the state of Alabama, Unclaimed Baggage attracts over one million visitors each year from all 50 states and over 40 foreign countries and has been featured by a number of major media outlets, including National Geographic, Good Morning America, Vogue, and The New York Times. Our Culture Our Purpose is to "Redeem the lost, unclaimed, and rejected for the glory of God." As a lost luggage business, this is clearly manifest in how we repurpose forgotten items that would otherwise end up in landfills, but we also strive to redeem people and communities through our Reclaimed for Good foundation, providing suitcases, clothing, medical supplies, and eyeglasses to those who need them all around the world. This purpose is core to who we are and has guided our decisions for over 55 years. Integrity: Do the right thing. We believe that values aren't just words on a piece of paper, but something that drives our behavior each and every day, which is why we call them Values in Action. They are: Excellence: Always reach for better. Humility: Listen and learn. Service: Help others win. Teamwork: Grow stronger together. Gratitude: Choose to be thankful.
