Daniel Stephens closed his clothing store Ethnic Creations last December after a ten-year run. Now he’s back with BGreen, which was scheduled to open in mid-October in Colonial Plaza on South Industrial. Its niche: environmentally safe products, from picnic and school supplies and cleaning products to insulation, flooring, and paint. “Paint is eighty percent of our business,” says Stephens, primarily a brand called AFM Safecoat that contains no volatile organic compounds, ammonia, or formaldehyde.
