How do Bourne villages split between the two stores?
Bourne straddles the Cape Cod Canal, and that decides the answer. South of the canal, Pocasset, Cataumet and Monument Beach sit on the Buzzards Bay shore, where the fastest way into Mashpee is east on Sandwich Road, a short run on Route 6, then south on Route 130 at Exit 59. Pocasset routes at about 26 minutes, Cataumet about 25, Monument Beach about 28.
North of the canal, Sagamore Beach is almost a coin toss: about 23 minutes to Mashpee and 27 to Plymouth. Buzzards Bay village on the mainland side routes to Mashpee in about 27 minutes, but if you are already heading up Route 3 toward Plymouth for anything else, the Plymouth store at 9 Collins Ave is a short detour off the highway.
Bridge traffic changes the math
Every Bourne route to Mashpee crosses either the Bourne Bridge or the Sagamore Bridge, and summer Friday and Sunday afternoons can back both up. The Plymouth store is on the mainland, so for Sagamore Beach and Buzzards Bay residents it is the traffic-proof option on a holiday weekend. The rest of the year, the Mashpee route is the quicker one for most of town.

What Bourne shoppers usually come in for
Both stores carry the same Triple M house line grown in Plymouth, so the choice of door does not change what you can buy from the house brand. Partner brands and daily availability can differ, which is why the two menus are separate. Check the Mashpee menu and the Plymouth menu before you pick.
