Behind many great business innovations lies a story — one that begins with a real problem, a spark of inspiration, and a determined effort to make things better. That’s close to how SuperSonic POS was born: out of the everyday operational challenges of running a gas station, and the vision of two entrepreneurs who believed there might be a smarter way.
The journey began with Mahdi Hussien, now just 26 years old, and his father Mohammad Hussien, both of whom owned and operated gas stations. They experienced firsthand the difficulties that come with managing inventory in convenience and retail stores, tracking sales, ensuring compliance, and keeping operations running smoothly. Rather than settling for clunky, outdated tools, they asked the simple but powerful question: “What if there was a system that could help make running a business easier?”
That question led to the development of Petro Outlet, a specialized back-office solution tailored primarily for gas stations and c-stores. It was designed with the goal of simplifying the complex, automating the repetitive, and providing owners with the information they need to operate more efficiently.
Petro Outlet grew in popularity, but Mahdi and Mohammad realized that the need for more intuitive, flexible tools might extend far beyond the gas station industry. Retailers, restaurants, and hospitality businesses often faced similar inefficiencies and limitations. That realization sparked the evolution of Petro Outlet into something bigger, broader, and more ambitious — the creation of SuperSonic POS.
Today, SuperSonic POS is a versatile platform designed to help streamline sales, enhance operations, and support business growth across a wide range of industries. From small businesses to multi-location enterprises, SuperSonic POS aims to empower owners with customizable solutions developed with real-world functionality in mind.
What helps distinguish SuperSonic POS is its foundation: it was built for store owners, by store owners. That lived experience influences everything the company does, from product development to customer support. The team understands what business owners need because they’ve been in their shoes, and they’re focused on addressing real problems with practical solutions.
One of the latest examples of that focus is the introduction of the Panic Button Feature, an added safety tool integrated into the SuperSonic ecosystem. It is designed to offer peace of mind for staff and owners, providing a discreet way to quickly request help during emergencies, demonstrating the company’s attention to both operational efficiency and workplace safety.
In line with its growth and expanding capabilities, the company has also updated Petro Outlet to SuperSonic Cloud, now positioned as an advanced back-office management system unified under the SuperSonic brand. This move aims to bring together front-end and back-end systems for a more seamless and efficient user experience.
From its grassroots origin to becoming a valued partner for businesses nationwide, SuperSonic POS continues to innovate with purpose. At its core, it’s still the same mission: to support business owners with the tools they need to succeed, because they’ve been there, and they understand what it takes.
