Southeastern Salvage completes move from Irondale to Birmingham

In 2024, the owners of Southeastern Salvage announced plans to move their longtime store in Irondale to the anchor tenant space at the Factory at Golden Flake.

“Every Birmingham resident remembers touring the Golden Flake factory as a child and getting their little bag of potato chips. Now, they can make new memories and find new treasures from around the world. If you liked us in Irondale, get ready to be blown away with what you’ll find in Birmingham!”
Tracy Miele, Office Manager, Southeastern Salvage

Founded in 1980, Southeastern Salvage is a Chattanooga, Tennessee-based chain of warehouse-style stores that offer a wide, unique range of home decor and building materials—from light fixtures to massive area rugs, tile flooring to outdoor planters and everything in between.

“Seeing such a historic piece of Birmingham history come alive again is nothing short of amazing. This team has worked so hard pulling out inventory, arranging that inventory, rearranging it and having a blast doing it!”
Sheree Ross, Store Manager, Southeastern Salvage

Southeastern Salvage’s new location features more than 66,000 square feet of exterior space and 135,000 square feet of interior space—more than double its former location in Irondale.

“We’ve got more than 150 refrigerators, ovens, washers and dryers here that we were never able to offer at our Irondale location because we simply didn’t have the space. Here, we can carry those items as well as other appliances, kitchen cabinets and even beautiful Redwood decking shipped all the way from California.”
Bubba Morgan, Owner, Southeastern Salvage

Southeastern Salvage’s expansion has created several new jobs in the Magic City; in addition to the 20 persons previously employed at the Irondale location, Southeastern Salvage has hired 15 new employees to help staff its North Titusville location.
