Yes, you can keep the LLC's current address: you are not required to form an LLC in each state in which you do business, whether online or via bricks and mortar locations. In fact, any given LLC (or corporation) will be establshed or formed in only one state regardless of how many states it operates in. Even the largest companies have one state of incorporation or formation.
