'Doctor Delivery' Suddenly Shuts Down

Doctor Delivery is no more.

Just a few days ago, the vibrant blue and yellow site was still begging for your order, offering to deliver food from any restaurant in Arlington for a fee. Today, however, DrDelivery.com goes to a white page with one simple sentence: "Dr. Delivery has ceased operations."

It's the end of an era for the region, which has had Dr. Delivery -- based in Falls Church -- delivering food from area restaurants that don't do delivery for the past 15 years, according to an ARLnow.com report.

The service offered delivery from 125 local restaurants, as well as custom courier services. However, the tech boom has resulted in a lot of competition. Companies like GrubHub and Postmates, and soon UberEATS, have been gobbling up market share in the food delivery market.

Doctor Delivery billed itself the "premiere multi-restaurant delivery company serving Arlington, Va. and Greater Washington D.C.," a cached version of its website states. The service allowed delivery as late as 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 a.m. every other night.
