THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT / so we're there whenever you need us.

I think the point they want to stress is that they're open for long hours every day of the year. So whenever you find that you need something, XXX is there to take your money!

agree  Cristina Connor: perhaps something like "should cover any emergency that should arise/you may have" but I do think the essence of the meaning here is emergency (imprevist).
