That depends on the brand or make... Most of Walmart stuff is either Campbell Hausfield or Kaarcher stuff. But the fittings and stuff are usually universal in size.
Now, getting the length you need may be a problem.
One idea would be to get the make and model number of the compressor and then go on Amazon.com and look for a replacement. They have a ton of stuff you can get to repair darn near anything... Even my old Hoover vacuum from the 80's.

I would get a new hose. Repairs and dry rot, that thing could let go if more than 90psi was pumped through there.

Oh yeah, in the automotive section Walmart carries a whole aisle of air compressors, accessories, tools and hoses. They may even carry a tape that can repair your current hose.

If the hose is already leaking, I wouldn't try to repair and continue to use it. There's a strong likelihood that it has other weak spots that could give way and cause potential injury under high pressure. The safest bet is to replace the whole hose with a new one.

Or if my son in law helps me load it up, I'll take it somewhere for repairs.
But where? Suggestions appreciated.

Tractor Supply also sell replacement air hoses for compressors.
