For many companies, a rebrand is a cosmetic change — a new logo, a modernized website, or a fresh color palette. But for SuperSonic POS, rebranding from Petro Outlet to SuperSonic Cloud is about more than just appearance. It reflects a strategic and thoughtful evolution that aligns with the company’s expanding capabilities, its growing user base, and its continued focus on developing solutions for the challenges business owners often face.
From Gas Station Origins to a Broader Vision
SuperSonic’s story began not in a tech incubator or a boardroom, but behind the counter of a gas station. Founders Mahdi Hussien, now 26, and his father Mohammad Hussien were hands-on business owners who encountered the day-to-day challenges of managing inventory, tracking sales, and maintaining compliance — all while striving to keep their team safe and their operations sustainable.
Those experiences contributed to the creation of Petro Outlet, a back-office solution initially designed for gas stations and convenience stores. Petro Outlet earned recognition for being practical and grounded in real business needs — largely because it was developed by people with firsthand experience.
However, as the software evolved and interest grew from industries beyond fuel and convenience stores, it became clear: the platform had expanded beyond its original identity.
A Unified, Smarter Experience
The rebranding of Petro Outlet to SuperSonic Cloud marks an important milestone in the company’s journey. It’s not merely a name change — it represents a broader mission to provide faster, smarter, and more integrated solutions for retail, restaurant, hospitality, and convenience businesses alike.
Now operating fully under the SuperSonic POS brand, the platform combines front-end point-of-sale tools with a cloud-based back-office system. This integration aims to reduce the time spent switching between systems and allow business owners to focus more on their core operations.
Safety as a Considered Feature
A clear example of how SuperSonic continues to develop under its new brand is the introduction of its Panic Button Feature — a discreet safety tool incorporated into the SuperSonic ecosystem.
Safety is an important consideration for many small business owners, especially those in higher-risk sectors or working during late hours. Whether it’s a gas station attendant managing a difficult customer or a retail employee who feels vulnerable, the Panic Button is designed to enable staff to silently notify emergency contacts or authorities with a simple tap. This feature responds to a need sometimes overlooked by traditional POS providers.
Because it’s integrated directly into the existing system employees use, there is no requirement for additional hardware or extensive training — it operates quietly in the background, available when it may be most needed.
What the Rebrand Signals for Customers
By unifying Petro Outlet under the SuperSonic name, the company communicates a clear intention: it is growing, attentive to user feedback, and committed to building for the future. The SuperSonic brand now reflects a comprehensive ecosystem of business solutions — all developed from experience, supported by ongoing innovation, and focused on helping business owners succeed while prioritizing safety.
For those who have used Petro Outlet from the start, the core values remain — practical and effective tools created by individuals who understand daily business challenges. With SuperSonic, the platform’s scope is expanding, the technology is evolving, and the company’s mission is becoming increasingly focused.
