What might be inside these collectible packs?
Anyway, the pop-up status of the space apparently signals the end of the New Stand's upscale and tech-driven take on the convenience store.

The New Stand announces its arrival on the Bowery
The coming-soon signage has arrived for the New Stand at 306 Bowery between Bleecker and Houston.
It has seemingly been a long coming soon for this outpost of the New Stand's tech-driven take on the convenience store. The news about an outpost in Patricia Field's former shop was first announced in June 2017.
Anyway, as to what the New Stand is all about, according to its website: "Half store, half app, New Stand shops carry a rotating mix of coffee, new media, fancy snacks ... green juice, cheap art, high fashion, amusing GIFS, weird toys ... and tons of other interesting things depending on the day."
More background via a November 2018 Bisnow article:
New Stand is different from the traditional convenience store and newsstand in that it uses technology to increase convenience for customers. Each location comes fit with a hyperlocal app that allows users to conduct self-checkouts and collect points. It comes with an embedded wallet.
And a quote from New Stand CEO Andrew Deitchman:
"We also use that app as a way to distribute content. We have a great curation that includes everything from a great music playlist, to things happening around the city to articles about business or science, technology, etc.," Deitchman said. "We're also able to make those feeds hyperlocal and target them based on a building, company or geolocation so that the content in the app is that much more relevant to the people interacting with that particular newsstand."
The company, which got its start in several highly trafficked NYC subway stations in 2015, has expanded into other cities across the country.

Looking at two dormant Bowery storefronts
In June 2017, there was news that The New Stand — a hipsterized convenience store — was opening a retail outlet at 306 Bowery, Patricia Field's former storefront.
Fifteen months later, the space between East Houston and Bleecker sits very empty... without any signs of activity...or any signs at all...
The New Stand didn't respond to an email query about the address. The company, with several NYC locations, is reportedly expanding elsewhere in the country.
Meanwhile at 347 Bowery at Third Street...
The ground-floor retail is still vacant. Early this year, signage arrived for Pilotworks, which was planning a "culinary incubator" for its food businesses to sell products.
The market was set to be open by now. The Pilotworks signage is gone... and the space sits empty...
A rep who gave me the information in February is no longer working with Pilotworks. The new contacts did not respond to questions on the status of the project.
Also, the COOL tag that arrived on or about Aug. 12 remains on the side of the retail-residential complex, where the penthouse fetched $17 million...
Updated...
Ah, a new tag arrived in the past 24-48 hours...

The New Stand coming to Patricia Field’s former storefront on the Bowery
The New Stand — a concept described as "If your favorite bodega and your favorite blog had a baby" — is opening a retail outlet at 306 Bowery, Patricia Field's former storefront.
The Real Deal, who first reported on this transaction, notes that the New Stand already has retail locations inside the Union Square subway station, at Brookfield Place and at the Turnstyle market at Columbus Circle. This will be the New Stand's largest space.
Wired had a feature on the New Stand from November 2015:
The New Stand is an underground newsstand, updated for modern commuters. We’re standing in The New Stand in Union Square, which once was “an old newsstand that sold chocolate bars and Snickers and magazines and Snapples, and has done that exact same thing for 30 years,” [co-founder George] Alan says. ... It’s stocked with an array of snacks, on-the-go toiletries (including Help Remedies kits, Binchotan charcoal toothbrushes, and Sir Richard’s all-natural condoms), as well as consumer candy like Google Cardboard sets, Closca collapsible bike helmets, and instant Instax cameras. It’s a mix of truly useful and genuinely covetable.
And!
Like the newsstands of yore, The New Stand will serve news. But instead of selling Posts and TimeOuts, it will blast easily digestible nuggets of news from an app that will work underground, with or without Wi-Fi. It’ll include daily playlists, reblogged news stories, and photos and videos making the rounds online.
In December 2015, Field announced that she was closing her boutique at 306 Bowery to concentrate on her film and TV work and other various projects.
Field, who has run a shop for 50 years, starting in the West Village in 1966, had been at this location between East Houston and Bleecker since 2012.

Thor Equities is the new owner of Patricia Field's former retail condo on the Bowery
[EVG photo from January]
As we noted in January, a storefront-for-rent sign arrived outside the outgoing Patricia Field boutique at 306 Bowery.
Apparently there's a reason Thor Equities had the listing. According to the Commercial Observer, Thor Equities is also the new owner of the building. The $8.2 million sale closed Monday.
“The Bowery is continuing its transformation into one of Manhattan’s most vibrant shopping corridors, fueled by the area’s new residential development, boutique hotels, museums, art galleries and nightlife,” Thor Chief Executive Officer Joseph Sitt said in a statement.
Not sure if vibrant is the right word.
The John Barrett luxury hair salon shut down at Bond Street after just a few months in business. Other recent closures include Environment Furniture ... PYT and SRO Pizza ... and Tatyana Boutique. (There's not even a place for the former "Most Interesting Man in the World.")
As for 306 Bowery, there isn't any mention of the asking rent for the space that totals 6,700 square feet and features a separate entrance on Elizabeth Street. And here's a rendering of the possibilities...
Thor has also purchased 176 Bowery and 195 Bowery in recent years.
As for Field, she announced late last year that she was closing her boutique at 306 Bowery to concentrate on her film and TV work and other various projects. She operated a boutique in various locations downtown for 50 years.
As for Sitt and Thor Equities, they have been busy in Coney Island.

The Patricia Field storefront is for rent on the Bowery
Back in December, Patricia Field announced that she was closing her boutique at 306 Bowery some time this spring to concentrate on her film and TV work and other various projects.
Field, who has run a shop for 50 years, starting in the West Village in 1966, had been at this location between East Houston and Bleecker (she owns the building) since 2012.
The storefront is now for rent. Here's a sampling of the listing via Thor Equities:
Surrounded by trendy restaurants, boutique hotels and in-demand retailers, 306 Bowery is a unique opportunity on one of New York City's most exciting retail thoroughfares.
In addition to new commercial developments, Bowery is also home to numerous apartment buildings, the New Museum, and residential buildings that have cropped up in the wake of a great amount of development. The Bowery has defined itself a center for the arts, perhaps second only to Chelsea.
