Two locations come to mind immediately: McFarland Plaza, which fought back from being left for dead only to get gutted once again by Midtown, and the recent Pate Holdings aquisition - McFarland Mall, which is pretty much dead.
The western half of Tuscaloosa needs a better shopping options. I also think the Woodland Forrest area is ripe for commercial development. There is interstate-front property in that area that is completely undeveloped

My main concern with both McFarland Mall and Woodland Forest is that, while they're right along the interstate, stuff on that end of town isn't going to be as convenient for the university area and north of the river as the existing retail cluster around Midtown/University Mall is. I think they could make it work, anyway, but only if they offer stores that people can't find closer in and/or if they offer something interesting enough to pull visitors in off the interstate.
I definitely agree with McFarland Plaza filling in, since it's so close to the Midtown/Meadowbrook/University Mall stuff.
One area I've wondered about is the current site of Tuscaloosa Middle School.
If UA does acquire Bryce, that would be extremely convenient and visible, and a middle school doesn't really need to be in such a high-traffic location, anyway.
As for the western part of town, I think even (God forbid) a Wal-Mart would be welcome there. Pate owns some junky-looking industrial site along the I-359 spur into downtown that would be convenient for a whole lot of people.
