Tremendous growth followed the opening of the first gas station. In 1995, two more stations were added: one located in the capital area and the other in Sohar. By the end of 1997, another 22 stations were operational throughout most of the country. The end of 1998 saw another 15 stations opening their doors. By the end of 1999, 12 more retail outlets were added to bring the total up to 52 stations at the beginning of the new millennium. The network now spanned the complete geographical boundaries of the Sultanate. All A1 Maha Filling Stations are designed to be customer-friendly using the latest equipment and technology available in the industry today. Each filling station is specifically designed for the particular market area it serves. Every station is an example of retail, operational and engineering efficiency. Innovative designs and effective space utility have resulted in striking and cost-efficient outlets.

Al Maha has also been the proud innovator of convenience stores attached to each of the filling stations providing the customers easy access to domestic supplies. A mini market is incorporated with the station to provide quick meals, soft drinks and other necessities to the motorists. In the early 1999 it was decided that the convenience stores should have a name. A public survey determined what name appealed to the majority of customers and it was decided to name the stores "Souk". Today the "Souk" outlets generate a considerable part of the company's revenues.

Besides being in the retail business, Al Maha has become a prominent supplier of fuel and lubricants to a number of Government Ministries. It's also a key supplier to a number of national and international companies operating in the Sultanate of Oman. The transportation of fuel is contracted out for these supply operations. Besides being advantageous to Al Maha, this astute business decision gives Omani businessmen opportunities in the competitive trucking industry and also provides excellent sources of income for individuals. A1 Maha's long client list includes the Ministry of Electricity and Water, the Royal Air Force of Oman, the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Oman Police and PDO.
