Although merchandising requires a great deal of creativity, it also requires skill and a thorough understanding of what fuels a person's impulse to buy. Share your relevant work experience and knowledge of merchandising and display building. Bring some photos with you to share. If you have unique ideas to share with Sysco regarding their current merchandising, let them know you've already put thought into it but would like to learn more about their logic and approach before making suggestions. If they are interested, they'll prompt you to share, anyway. If you do not have experience, share the scope of your knowledge while exhibiting enthusiasm for learning more while looking forward to the opportunity to inherit this responsibility and learn this skill shortly.

Good start; it's great that you take pride in your work. To strengthen this response, I suggest sharing more about a specific time when you've utilized creativity or created a display (or made some look esthetically pleasing, even if it isn't direly related.)
