The quotes are part of the actual script? That does not make sense in
that particular context. Please state the actual snippet being
executed.

Works for me. Try this bit of code that I tested:
#!/bin/bash
USERINFO=name:phone
echo "location=${USERINFO}"
location=${USERINFO}
echo $location
exit 0
That produces:
location=name:phone
name:phone
