Hofbräuhaus franchises have been opened in the several places in the United States of America, including the first in Newport, Kentucky, next to Munich's sister city of Cincinnati, Ohio, which opened in 2003.
Hitler, with an eye always to helping the party to grow through propaganda, convinced the leadership committee to invest in an advertisement in the Münchener Beobachter (later renamed the Völkischer Beobachter) for a mass meeting in the Hofbräuhaus, to be held on 16 October 1919.
