Honestly the cleaner hours thing is kinda off base because Spirit Halloween doesn't really set its own hours like a normal store. They basically open and close whenever the temp workers show up and they have to follow whatever the mall says about the building. In my experience the Sears part is more about it being totally empty, so there's no real activity to compare it to. A dead store always looks cleaner than a busy one just because nothing is happening in there. Take that with a grain of salt though since I haven't been to Northgate in a minute.
