Maple Leaf Gardens was constructed in five months and two weeks in 1931, and was used as an arena for the Toronto Maple Leafs until 1999. The Maple Leafs moved to their new arena, the Air Canada Centre, in that year. Since then the building has been unused except for occassional film shoots and various other events.

It was purchased by Loblaws in 2004, with the intention of converting it into a grocery store, but work on the project has never commenced. In the fall of 2009, it was announced that a joint partnership between Loblaws and Ryerson University might see the building used to house a grocery store, but might also be used by Ryerson as an arena, preserving some of the buildings initial purpose.
