In German it depends a bit on the person you are talking to...do you know him as a friend? Then you'd say: "Danke und komm bald wieder"
If you do not know him or you want to address hin formally you would say: "Danke und kommen Sie bald wieder" or "danke und besuchen Sie uns bald wieder!"
Without knowing if you address someone formally or not you ca always say: "Danke und bis bald" (impersonal)
HTH (even if there is more than one solution)

Here's another one to add to Leena's suggestions to make your choice even harder, Clare:
"Danke und auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen", which is also impersonal, but a bit more formal than "Danke und bis bald".

"Obrigado e volte sempre"
or, more freely:
"Obrigado pela preferência"
(literally --> "thank you for your business", already implying that the customer will keep coming back for more.)

Thanks and come back soon.
Due to Polish grammar, I should give my answer in variants:
Single person to a single person:
Dziękuję bardzo i wróć wkrótce.
Single person to a group:
Dziękuję bardzo i wróćcie wkrótce.
Group to a single person:
Dziękujemy bardzo i wróć wkrótce.
Group to a group:
Dziękujemy bardzo i wróćcie wkrótce.
 ... See more Thanks and come back soon.

| Merci et a bientot! | May 10, 2007 |
In French you could say:
Merci et a bientot!
(I am sorry, I have an English laptop and don't know how to write the French accents on it. There is an accent grave (going up to down from left to right) on the "a" and an accent circonflexe on the "o" of bientot (it looks like this ^).
As I work from French to English this problem never occured to me before...)

| French correction... | May 10, 2007 |
Hi I just want to amend one thing in my comment:
in French there is a space between the sentence and the !
It reads then
Merci et a bientot !
(with the accents as explained before).

While agreeing with Andrzej,
I'd like to post another one ("we" talk to "him/ her/ them/ you)
(mainly applicable in business situations though):
Dziękujemy i zapraszamy ponownie.
Actually it says "thank you, call again", but it sounds a bit more natural to my Polish ear.

Good idea. Polish language is very strongly context-dependent. My replies regarded informal relations between people.

| did you get it in Italian? | May 13, 2007 |
Here it is in italian: ("Thanks and come back soon")
Grazie mille, é a presto (General, cordial expression..)
Grazie tante, é fatti vedere (cordial/coloquial - emphasis on the V)
Grazie, torna presto (Literal Trans - not really valid)
Grazie, é spero di rivederti presto (friendly)
These could go on and on depending on your relationship with the person of course!!
Kind regards.
