Sausages, steaks and burgers are on the menu, with fans stocking up for the big game.
The Sausage Shop owner Phillip Groves said that the AFL Grand Final weekend is one of their busiest of the year.
"Apart from Christmas this is the busiest weekend for us. We are closed on Saturday so we are expecting Friday to be very busy, with people coming in and stocking up on what they need ahead of the big game," he said.
With many meats and sausages on offer at the shop, Mr Groves said that there were certain items that always prove to be popular for the footy final.
"We do wallaby twiggy sticks which are very popular, as well as venison kranskys and our biggest is our saveloys, which we have on special this week. They are always a crowd favourite."
Mr Groves said that the locals in Perth are the reason they love doing what they do.
"We love serving the local community here and the locals are always so supportive of us and our products, especially with sporting events like this," he said.
"The sausages are the most popular at this time of the year, we have about a dozen different types that we do each week, and these flavours change from the traditional types like beef and pork, as well as unique flavours like jalapeno and sour cream and curried pork."
Although Mr Groves is excited about how busy the shop has been in preparations for the final, he isn't as keen for the game, with his beloved Richmond Tigers not playing.
