HISTORY: The iconic REBEL DIP restaurant was established in 1962 by Joe Rouse aka “Coach”, a beloved math teacher and football coach at Harrison Central High School. Joe’s first name choice for his new venture was Kool Dip, but that name was copyrighted. Coach later stated in a WLOX interview, "I was teaching 9th grade math, and I gave a test to my students at Harrison Central High School, which is right up the road, and the last question on the test was, "What do you want the Kool Dip to be called? And they all wrote in REBEL DIP because of the Harrison Central Red Rebels," says Coach.
