Pasadena is among the large number of stores closing Tomorrow. So why on Earth are they hiring LOL?

The job is listed as "liquidation". So even, if by some Miracle, they are able to hire them TODAY, and get them started TOMORROW, they will only work for 1 Day?
Well, they finally pulled it. Dead issue, now.
Yep, it's still up too! Even though they closed last Night.
It's for tear-down of the shelves, and cleanout. (It's not for a job in the "cashier" sense.
The last closing that I personally saw, the Somerville MA Kmart in November 2019, was on a Sunday, but followed by several days of fixture sales. That may be happening here, too.
Or maybe they have access sh-t and have to stay open a bit longer to get rid of it? They are not guaranteed to close at Nov. 14, of course. It's an Estimate. They'll close when they get rid of all their sh-t.
To the poster below, thanks for that explanation. Genuinely curious, is there some reason the regular employees are not allowed to stay after closing? I'm wondering if there is some semantics, as to certain employees working for "Sears" that have to leave at closing, and other employees working specifically for "SB360" that can stay past closing? Just a guess?
I was involved with some liquidations about 20 Years ago, and as I remember, they were more worried about laying off people, than hiring, especially in the last 3-4 Weeks. But every situation is different, maybe Pasadena is genuinely shorthanded and they need some fixtures moved around and sh1t.
But ya, as someone mentioned below, this will all be a moot point anyway, within a few Days.
They've done that before at some other stores. Yes, it is to move out whatever is left in the store (i.e. any merchandise, fixtures, equipment etc.) Apparently the original store employees aren't able to do the grunt work or allowed to be around after the store closes.
Maybe they need someone to just move some fixtures around, and sh!t after they already closed? Just a guess though. It does seem odd to me. All the closures, I've been involved with, they started laying people off 2-3 Weeks, before the final closing Date, not hiring people. Maybe they just forgot to pull the job listing. I agree it's very weird though. It will all be a moot point in a few Days.
